Adelaide 36ers fans, get ready to celebrate! It looks like your star import, Zylan Cheatham, is on the verge of a multi-year deal extension, which is fantastic news for the team! This potential deal comes right before their crucial matchup against Melbourne United, adding even more excitement to the game.
According to reports from 9 News Adelaide's Will Crouch, negotiations are well underway. Cheatham, a key player for the 36ers, has been instrumental in their impressive performance this season.
But here's where it gets interesting... Cheatham, a forward, has been a powerhouse on the court, averaging 12.5 points, 10.1 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game. His contributions have been vital in propelling the 36ers to a stellar 13-3 record in the Hungry Jack's NBL26 season.
This move signals a strong commitment from the 36ers' ownership to build a championship-contending team. With players like Bryce Cotton, Dejan Vasiljevic, and Isaac Humphries already locked in for the next season, the team is clearly focused on long-term success.
And this is the part most people miss... This potential extension would solidify Cheatham's place alongside a core group of talented players. This core group includes five-time MVP Bryce Cotton, Isaac Humphries, Flynn Cameron, Dejan Vasiljevic, Isaac White, Ben Griscti, and Michael Harris (with an option).
The 36ers' Round 12 clash with United is set for 7:30 PM on Friday, live on ESPN.
