Skylar Mays is finalizing a deal with the New Zealand Breakers for the remainder of the 2026-27 NBL season. The American guard will replace Parker Jackson-Cartwright, who is out for the season with a stress fracture in his tibia. Mays recently parted ways with the South East Melbourne Phoenix after appearing in 11 games this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He averaged 11.7 points, 4.0 assists and 2.8 rebounds in 23.4 minutes per game<\/strong>, shooting 45.0% from two, 31.5% from three and 85.7% from the free-throw line<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Breakers are therefore adding an experienced ball-handler to fill a major void in their backcourt following Jackson-Cartwright\u2019s season-ending injury. According to ESPN, the deal is being finalized and would keep Mays with New Zealand for the remainder of the season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Skylar Mays is finalizing a deal with the New Zealand Breakers after averaging 11.7 points and 4.0 assists for South East Melbourne<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":146,"featured_media":410913,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_spbk_hide_featured":false,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[389],"tags":[],"rumors":[407],"typology":[183],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-563800","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-australia","rumors-basket-rumors","typology-rumors"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/10\/Skylar-Mays-Fenerbahce-e1730041732762.jpeg","digistream_id":0,"digistream":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/563800","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/146"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=563800"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/563800\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":563802,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/563800\/revisions\/563802"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/410913"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=563800"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=563800"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=563800"},{"taxonomy":"rumors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rumors?post=563800"},{"taxonomy":"typology","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/typology?post=563800"},{"taxonomy":"posizionamento","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posizionamento?post=563800"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
