Sydney's Izayah Le'afa will chalk up another personal milestone on Wednesday when his Kings take on the South East Melbourne Phoenix.
The Tall Blacks international, who signed with the Hoops Capital side in April, will play his 150th NBL game when he hits the court for the round 17 clash at the State Basketball Centre.
"Milestones like this make you appreciate the journey and all the hard work I've put in to get to this point," Le'afa said.
"I'm proud to play 150 NBL games, especially against the team where it all started for me in this competition."
