The New Zealand Breakers have signed their second import and final player for the upcoming Australian

National Basketball League season, bringing in former Washington Wizard and Milwaukee Buck forward Awvee Storey.

The 32-year-old Chicago forward is a six-and-a-half footer who played his college basketball at Arizona State, and has a career including 60 NBA regular season games for the Bucks, the Wizards and New Jersey Nets.

Storey played the 2008 NBA pre-season with the Nets before heading to China where he averaged 23.3 points and 7.1 rebounds across the 44-game season for Liaoning.

He completes the player recruitment for the Breakers and replaces the versatile and experienced Canadian Dave Thomas, who reluctantly withdrew from his contract due to injury.
