The New Zealand Breakers will go into next year鈥檚 NBL season under new ownership.
Seven years after taking over, the Herald understands the current ownership group, fronted by Matt Walsh and including former NBA stars Shawn Marion and Victor Oladipo, is set to sell the team.
Both the club and Walsh would not comment on the sale when contacted by the Herald, however it is believed a pair of Kiwi brothers will be taking over.
The sale brings an end to an eventful era at the club following its sale to the new ownership group in 2018, which saw them have to navigate the Covid-19 period and game within one game of hanging another banner.
But it was a stretch that also saw the team struggle at times with just two trips to the postseason in seven seasons.
That stretch was also rife with suggestions that the American ownership group was looking to move the club on.
The most recent of those suggestions came in early 2024, which Walsh told the Herald were not true.
The NBL has been contacted for comment.
