Injury update: Lual-Acuil Jr ahead of schedule for return

Melbourne United will head into the NBL Blitz on the Gold Coast with just one player, Jo Lual-Acuil Jr (wrist), missing with injury.

Stars like Matthew Dellavedova, who returns after a year away in the NBA, Chris Goulding, who is back from playing with the Boomers at the FIBA World Cup, and Rob Loe, who joined the team as a Nominated Replacement Player, are ready to take the court across the preseason tournament.

For Lual-Acuil Jr, the big-man is ahead of schedule for his return and is expected to be back on the court in early November.

Fans can tune in to every one of United games at the Blitz live and free via Kayo Freebies.

With less than two weeks until opening night, be sure to get in quick so you don’t miss out on a huge Round 1 Throwdown clash with the South East Melbourne Phoenix.

With less than 500 tickets for the game remaining, the time is now to secure your seat and Bring The Blue!
