Travers returns, other stars out

Sunday, November 19, 2023

Melbourne United's Luke Travers is set to return after recovering from concussion.

Luke Travers will suit up in arguably Melbourne United's biggest game of the season so far, a top of the table clash with the Sydney Kings on Sunday.

Travers sustained a concussion in Round 6 against the Perth Wildcats, and missed United's Round 7 Throwdown game against the South East Melbourne Phoenix. The talented youngster will return against the Kings.

While Travers is in, teammates Matthew Dellavedova (calf) and Ian Clark (hamstring) will remain out. Both are expected to return in Round 9 following the FIBA break.

Campbell Blogg, Rob Loe, and Malith Machar will be on the active roster on Sunday.

The top-of-the-ladder clash tips-off at 4:00pm AEDT on Sunday at John Cain Arena. The game will broadcast live and free on ESPN via Kayo Freebies, 10 Peach and 10 Play.
