NZ Breakers point guard Parker Jackson-Cartwright will miss the remainder of the NBL27 season after scans confirmed a stress fracture in his tibia.
Jackson-Cartwright had been managing the lower leg injury with medical staff support but experienced increased symptoms during last week's road trip, with the latest scans confirming the fracture and the need for immediate rest and rehabilitation.
“This is devastating for the club, but first and foremost it is devastating for Parker. He lives and breathes the Breakers, he loves the club, the city, the country, and our fans," said the club's President of Basketball Dillon Boucher.

“The decision is taken with his welfare top of mind, to allow him to rest, heal and return better than ever in 2027.”
Boucher confirmed the club would explore replacement options, although no decisions had been made, with the immediate focus on Friday night's home game against Brisbane and Sunday's clash with the defending champion Sydney Kings.
Meanwhile, Charles Bediako has received positive news after scans on his lower back came back clear, showing no fracture.
Bediako, who suffered a heavy fall in the first quarter against Tasmania, will continue to be assessed during the week and remains a game day decision for Friday's clash with the Bullets.
