A career-high 30-point haul from captain Kyle Adnam has helped South East Melbourne Phoenix to an 84-79 NBL season-opening victory over Tasmania JackJumpers.
The shorthanded Phoenix entered Saturday's game at John Cain Arena with Ryan Broekhoff and new imports Gary Browne and Trey Kell III sidelined through injury, while Chinese centre Zhou Qi has yet to join the team from overseas.
