Brisbane Bullets fans can look forward to an exciting evening this Thursday as star player Javon Freeman-Liberty makes his eagerly awaited return to the hardwood. The announcement, made on Wednesday, confirmed that Freeman-Liberty will participate in the Round 12 clash against the Illawarra Hawks at the WIN Entertainment Centre. His return is particularly significant, considering he has been on the sidelines for an extended period due to a viral illness.
Freeman-Liberty’s comeback is a major milestone, as he has not played since Round 2 of the NBL season. His journey has been a roller coaster; he initially left the club in October but re-signed just a month later, demonstrating his dedication to the Bullets and their aspirations for the current season.
With the absence of injured star Casey Prather, Freeman-Liberty’s role in the lineup becomes even more crucial. Head coach Stu Lash will undoubtedly rely on his scoring prowess and playmaking abilities as the team strives to stay competitive in the Hungry Jack’s NBL26 season.
The highly anticipated game is scheduled to tip off at 7:30 PM AEDT, with live coverage on ESPN. Fans will have the opportunity to see Freeman-Liberty back in action, supporting the Bullets as they aim for a crucial victory. This match not only represents a comeback for Freeman-Liberty but also a chance for the Bullets to regain momentum in the season, bringing a sense of hope and excitement to their supporters.
