South East Melbourne's NBL playoff hopes have been boosted by the arrival of former NBA small forward Abdel Nader.
The third-placed Phoenix freed up an import place on their roster with last week's cutting of American guard Will Cummings and have moved quickly to replace him with the 196cm-tall ex-Boston Celtics and Oklahoma City Thunder player.
Cummings was released with immediate effect on Friday, the 31-year-old understood to have failed to meet the club's off-court requirements.
