Newley honoured in return to Spain

After calling it a career at the end of the NBL24 season, Brad Newley was honoured by his former Spanish club, Gran Canaria, at their most recent home game.

Newley, who spent four seasons on the Spanish island playing with Gran Canaria, helped lead the club to strong success, including a trip to both the Copa Del Rey and Euro Cup Finals.
