With the Illawarra Hawks' NBL22 season coming to an end, the foundation club's players will now be plying their trades both around Australia and the globe during the off-season.
Below is where you can catch our Illawarra stars over the coming months:
- Alex Mudronja
Illawarra's injury replacement player for the 2021-22 season, who will transition into a full-time rostered player, will suit up for the North Gold Coast Seahawks in NBL1 North during the coming months.
The 22-year-old actually made his debut for the club on Saturday, as his Seahawks downed the South West Metro Pirates 77-72 at Runaway Bay Stadium - with a team-high 19 points, five rebounds and three triples in 26:48 minutes.
Joining Mudronja in the Seahawks squad this season will be Tasmania's Jack McVeigh and Brisbane's Tamuri Wigness.
The Adelaide talent will return to the court with his Seahawks against the Red City Roar at Paul Bancroft Centre from 7.30pm AEST - which can be streamed here.
- Isaac White
The 23-year-old will play for the Ipswich Force for the second straight season in NBL1 North.
In his seven games for JBS Stadium-based side last season, the Sturt Sabres junior averaged 26.42 points, 8.71 points and four dimes in 34:37 minutes of action.
The Force, who is currently 0-2, plays a double-header this round, starting with Friday's home opener against the Brisbane Capitals - headlined by Illawarra's Lachlan Dent.
The next night, White and his team which features also Majok Deng (Cairns Taipans), will travel to Hibiscus Sports Stadium to battle the mighty South West Metro Pirates.
Friday's game can be streamed live here, with Saturday's here.
- Lachlan Dent
The Hawks development player will link-up, as mentioned above, with the Brisbane Capitals this NBL1 North season.
This will be the Illawarra junior's first season in the Queensland-based competition, where he will team up with Bullets development player Max McKinnon.
The Caps, who opened their 2022 season with an 80-79 win against Northside, will again be on the road this round against Ipswich - tipping off from 8pm here.
- Harry Froling
Big man Harry Froling will be the lone Hawk in this season's NBL1 South competition, after recently signing with the Hobart Charges for the upcoming season.
Last season with the Mackay Meteors, the 24-year-old averaged 18.60 points, 13.80 rebounds and 4.40 assists in 31:58 minutes, across his 10 fixtures.
The Townsville product and his side, who are 1-1 through the first two rounds, will take on Kilsyth Cobras at Kingborough Sports Centre this Friday from 8pm - which can be streamed live here.
- Akoldah Gak
Young big man Akoldah Gak will line up for Illawarra's NBL1 East side on Saturday when they take on the Maitland Mustangs at the Snakepit from 7.30pm.
The Hawks, who feature former Hawk Oscar Foreman, are currently 3-3 this season, while the Mustangs are 2-3 in 2022.
This fixture can be streamed here.

- Justinian Jessup
The NBL Next Star will return to the NBA Summer League in July, where he will once again line up for the Golden State Warriors - who selected him with the 51st pick in the 2020 NBA Draft.
During his five games for the Dubs in Las Vegas last season, the Boise State alum averages 12.4 points on 42.9 per cent shooting (both overall and from three-point range), 3.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists.
The annual competition will run from July 7-17 and involve all 30 NBA teams - each of which will play five games.
