REPORT: Phoenix part ways with import

South East Melbourne have reportedly made their first major roster move of the Hungry Jack’s NBL27 Season, parting ways with US import Skylar Mays.

According to CODE Sports, ESPN and foxsports.com.au, the Phoenix made the decision to move on from Mays after just 11 games.

The Heartland club sit eighth with a 4-7 record, the latest loss coming on Sunday when they blew a 21-point lead against Sydney.

Mays played just 10 minutes and 40 seconds off the bench in that game, finishing with 2 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist.

The former NBA guard made a promising start to the campaign, but his minutes dwindled in recent weeks.

He leaves averaging 11.7 points, 4 assists and 2.8 rebounds per game.

The Phoenix next host Illawarra on Wednesday night in an Ignite Cup fixture at the State Basketball Centre, from 7.30pm AEDT, live on ESPN.
