Two-time NBL champion Shaun Bruce will add another milestone to his collection on Friday night when he plays his 150th game in the purple and gold.
Bruce, who recently chalked up his 300th game in the NBL, will become just the 11th player in the club's history to reach this accomplishment.
"It [the milestone] is really special," Bruce said.
"The Kings have a proud history and have had a lot of great players come through, so to be on any list with names like Matt Nielsen and Jason Smith is special as I grew up watching those guys and idolising the NBL as a kid."

His stint in the harbour city with the Hoops Capital club has been pivotal to the club's recent success, where they won two titles and reached three grand final series - thanks to countless big plays by the Horsham product.
"I have to pinch myself I’m here [with the Kings] to be honest," King #209 said.
"My journey has been fairly unique but to now be at the Kings and to experience the success we’ve had has been very special.
"To have Paul [Smith], Chris [Pongrass], Luc [Longley] and all our ownership believe in me to play my small part in moving the Kings in the right direction means a lot for sure."

The 32-year-old will bring up the milestone against his former side Cairns - all part of Friday's Hoops Capital double-header which will see the Flames take on Townsville before the NBL fixture.
"We’ve shown at times we can be the best team in the league again this season," said Bruce, whose team will be out to end a two-game skid.
"It’s just about being more consistent, especially on the defensive end.
"This league is far too good to only do it in stretches so we are still searching for our best but that’s also exciting for us that it’s ahead of us and I’m certain the boys will find it."
On Friday, all the actions starts at 4.45pm AEDT with the WNBL game before the NBL match tips off at 7.15pm - with tickets still available here.
