Kuol to bring up 100-game milestone against Phoenix

Sydney Kings' Bul Kuol will chalk up a big personal milestone on Friday night when he plays his 100th NBL game.

Kuol, who calls Canberra home, is proud to bring up this milestone.

"It's awesome to have the privilege of playing 100 games in the NBL," the 2024 Paris Olympian said.

"In some regards, it feels like I'm only just getting started, being just in year four but I'm proud of how much I've developed on and off the court during that time - with all the experiences I have with my coaches and teammates.

"It's a cool milestone along my journey and I can't wait to play another 100."

During that span, the 27-year-old South Sudanese international has recorded averages of 10.6 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.7 steals - while establishing himself as one of the competition's top defenders.

While the Detroit Mercy alum is proud of the achievement, he's more concerned with the Hoops Capital side winning the Indigenous Round fixture with South East Melbourne.

"[On Friday], we just need to continue to raise the bar, as I believe over the past two games, we've started to figure out who we are as a team," the wing said.

"It all starts on the defensive end for us and Friday will be no different.

"Personally, I take a lot of pride in that end of the floor and am now figuring out who I can best fit in with this talented group, who also possesses a lot of like-minded individuals, willing to do whatever it takes to win."

Tickets to the fixture, tipping off at 7.15pm AEDT, are still available here.
