New Zealand Breakers - 2012-13

2012-13

The 2012-13 season has seen the departure of Gary Wilkinson to give Alex Pledger more game time. He was replaced on the roster by Will Hudson. Corey Webster returns to the Breakers after a 12 month ban for use of banned substances.

The Breakers pre-season involved three games in New Zealand, where they played the Wollongong Hawks in Christchurch, Dunedin and Hamilton, as well as three games in the NBL/WNBL preseason competition. In addition to the three games against the Hawks, the Breakers played three games in the NBL's official preseason tournament.

The team started the regular season on 5 October 2012 at the North Shore Events Centre where they played the 2011/12 runnersup the Perth Wildcats. After losing this game, they continued to win their first Vector Arena game against the Adelaide 36ers, and their next game at the North Shore Events Centre against the Townsville Crocodiles - Mika Vukona receiving the Player of the Week award for that round.
