We are delighted to welcome back Larry Austin Jr to the Phoenix.
Larry first joined the club during the 21/22 season where he was named the Trophy Final MVP after the club won the Trophy competition vs London Lions. He re-signed for the 22/23 season captaining the club back to the Trophy Final and a Playoff Semi Final appearance, averaging 15.5pts, 6 Rebounds and 2.5 Steals per game. Last season he joined the Newcastle Eagles where he faced off against the Phoenix and competed in the ENBL league.
Larry returns to the Phoenix where he has enjoyed his most successful basketball having played in Turkey, Portugal and the U.K.

“Bringing Larry in will hopefully help us in areas we’ve struggled so far, his work rate, rebounding and defence will enhance the team and improve the consistency we need to ensure we continue to provide good results throughout the year. I am pleased we’ve been able to bring back one of the clubs fan favourites and I am looking forward to seeing the best version of Larry here again.

Ricky Clemons has departed the club and we would like to thank Ricky for all his hard work and professionalism during his time at the club and would like to wish him all the very best for the future.
