Hogg set to make Kings debut against Taipans

Import DJ Hogg will make his long-awaited Sydney Kings debut this weekend when the Hoops Capital club takes on the Taipans at the Cairns Convention Centre.

The 27-year-old, who has missed the first four rounds of the NBL24 season due to a shoulder injury, will take on his former team from 7.30pm AEDT on Saturday - with the game being broadcast on ESPN via Kayo Sports.

The Kings will unfortunately be without young gun Jaylin Galloway for that match after he sustained a shoulder injury during Sunday's clash with Tasmania.

Galloway will be re-evaluated in three weeks' time with a return to play still to be determined - he will be replaced in Saturday's squad by Jasper Rentoy.

Big man Sam Timmins remains out for this round with a calf strain but is nearing a return in the coming weeks - with the New Zealand international being replaced by Isaac Gattorna on Saturday.
