The Brisbane Bullets have reportedly made a major free agency splash, securing the services of Australian NBA player Alex Ducas.
Following his rookie season ending in an NBA championship with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Ducas will return to his homeland of Australia as part of the NBL.
This move from Brisbane comes amidst major changes for the club, who hired Stu Lash as the team's latest head coach in April.

He will now join an NBL team coming off a mixed 2024-25 season, with Brisbane struggling early before finding some form in the back half of the campaign behind Casey Prather's impressive form.
Ducas will become the seventh rostered player for the Bullets, and will link up with impressive locals Tyrell Harrison and Sam McDaniel as the team hunts for their first title since rejoining the NBL in 2016.
