Bryce Cotton has reminded the NBL why he is still the best player in the competition, returning from a rib injury to put up 33 points in 32 minutes and lead the Perth Wildcats to a 97-84 home win against the South East Melbourne Phoenix.
Cotton, who won the fourth of his MVP awards just last season, has missed the last five games after suffering a dislodged rib in the opening minutes of the October 19 loss in Auckland to the New Zealand Breakers.
