The New Zealand Breakers have reportedly held talks with Skylar Mays, just a day after the guard parted ways with the South East Melbourne Phoenix.

ESPN’s Olgun Uluc said the Breakers have identified Mays as a potential replacement for Parker Jackson-Cartwright, who has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a stress fracture in his tibia.

NBL commentator Pete Hooley was the first to flag the Breakers’ potential interest in Mays on Thursday night.

According to Uluc, the club has also contacted the representatives of Raul Neto, whose stint with the Brisbane Bullets as Arnas Velička's injury replacement will end once Velička returns, as it looks to sign an import as soon as possible.

Sitting last on the NBL ladder at 4-8, the Breakers are desperate to keep their season alive.

The New Zealand Breakers have engaged in discussions with Skylar Mays, sources told ESPN. The former SEM Phoenix guard is among the Breakers’ targets as they eye an injury replacement for Parker Jackson-Cartwright. @PeterHooley12 flagged last night that the Breakers would likely have interest in Mays. The Breakers have also reached out to the representatives of Raul Neto, sources said, along with multiple other guards on the import market; the team is hoping to sign a new import ASAP.
