Despite being suspended and then injured in the later part of the season Breakers co-captain Parker Jackson-Cartwright was named the club’s Most Valuable Player for the NBL25 season.
In his second season at the club, Jackson-Cartwright led the team in points per game (18.9), assists per game (6.7), and was second in steals per game (1.6) behind Matt Mooney.

He also earned this season’s Members Choice award, as voted by BNZ Breakers members.
The Moment of the Year, which went to Sam Mennenga for his career-high performance against Tasmania JackJumpers in Round 17.
Mennenga was instrumental in the win over the JackJumpers, scoring a career best 29 points on 13-15 from the field, along with nine rebounds and a block in 26 minutes on the floor.
Defensive Player of the Year went to Mojave King for his tireless hustle in locking down his opposition players.
The Breakers finsihed second-to-last on the points table despite promising start to the season, but it appeared the NBA trip to the United States and some influence from owner Matt Walsh made the season difficult and it turned into freefall.
