Penney suffers setback in recovery

7:45 am on 29 October 2009

The Breakers star guard Kirk Penney has suffered a minor setback in his recovery from a back injury.

Penney has all but been ruled out of a return to the Australian National Basketball League in tonight's clash with the Adelaide 36ers on the North Shore.

Penney, who's missed three games so far, trained for 45 minutes on Monday, but assistant coach Dean Vickerman says he didn't recover well from that.
