In one of the biggest signings in NBL history, Ryan Broekhoff will add significant strike to the Phoenix with his experience and potent three-point shooting. https://t.co/QSaNbdqZ8v

This is huge for the Phoenix, and probably throws them right in the finals race. Ryan Broekhoffβs deal is for one year; heβll be a nominated replacement player, taking Mike Karenaβs spot. https://t.co/f3za45KwDz
