DeVries rested, Daly and Harris activated
Australia's tallest man, Sam Harris, has taken a step closer to being apart of the 36ers main roster by being activated to play for the 36ers against Wollongong in Whyalla this Friday night.
The 7'4" centre will cover the vacant spot of the injured Nathan Herbert.
Coach Marty Clarke said of Sam’s activation " it is a great opportunity for Sam to show what he can do against a high level of opposition. He has been training very well and deserves the opportunity to play.”
Harris will suit up alongside SA youngster Tom Daly who will replace import Troy DeVries. Daly impressed 36ers coaches at the recent ABA central grand final as he lead his Sturt Sabres to victory of the West Adelaide Bearcats. Coach Marty Clarke expects Daly to log minutes for the first time at the NBL level this weekend.
DeVries has a slight hamstring strain that will see him sidelined as a precaution for at least Friday nights clash against last years grand finalists. The speed of his recovery will determine if he plays on Sunday at the sold out Starplex, Gawler or not.
In other news Nathan Herbert will undergo surgery to his damaged knee in Melbourne tomorrow.
