He is a gritty, tough player, that fits exactly what we were after. I was surprised he had not already been snapped up on an NBL roster\u201d Pongrass added.<\/p>\n<p>Vodanovich comes in to replace Kings star Xavier Cooks who has been sidelined with an ankle injury for up to three months. He has already travelled from New Zealand and is currently with the team in Albury as they prepare for NBL21 season.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Brydens Lawyers Sydney Kings are pleased to announce the signing of New Zealand forward Tom Vodanovich as a nominated injury replacement player for Xavier Cooks. <\/p>\n<p>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Y0ePVr4GMe\">https:\/\/t.co\/Y0ePVr4GMe<\/a> \ud83d\udc51<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WeTheKings?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#WeTheKings<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/RIs2qq8dMF\">pic.twitter.com\/RIs2qq8dMF<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Sydney Kings (@SydneyKings) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SydneyKings\/status\/1345228978127179776?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 2, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vodanovich comes in to replace Kings star Xavier Cooks who has been sidelined with an ankle injury for up to three months.
