Kendric Davis Returns for Big Adelaide 36ers Showdown with Perth Wildcats
In a thrilling clash set to light up the Adelaide Entertainment Centre, the Adelaide 36ers will face off against their fierce rivals, the Perth Wildcats, this Sunday afternoon. After a tough 102-83 loss to the Brisbane Bullets just days before, the 36ers are determined to bounce back, and they have a major boost with the return of import point guard Kendric Davis.
Davis, who has been serving a two-game suspension, is back just in time for the Heritage Round showdown, and his presence is expected to make a significant difference for the 36ers. With the team struggling through a three-game losing streak, Davis’s return to the backcourt will add much-needed firepower. Head coach Mike Wells is excited to have Davis back in the fold, especially as the 36ers look to protect their home court and energize the Adelaide crowd.

The 36ers have been hit with a series of challenges lately, with key players such as Dejan Vasiljevic and Montrezl Harrell sidelined due to injuries and suspensions. However, Davis's return will offer the team a new dynamic, particularly in the backcourt. Wells also mentioned that the combination of Davis and rising star Keanu Rasmussen could provide a fresh offensive look for the team. Rasmussen has been impressive, especially in the recent game against Brisbane, where he scored a career-high 10 points, adding five assists and five steals. Wells has expressed his excitement about Rasmussen’s development, and he’s eager to see how the young gun pairs with Davis on the court.
As for the Wildcats, they come into this game with their own injury concerns. Star import Kristian Doolittle is out with a groin injury, and Keanu Pinder is also unavailable due to illness. However, the Wildcats are still led by their superstar Bryce Cotton, who has been on an absolute tear recently. Cotton has scored back-to-back 40-point games, including a franchise-record 59 points against the New Zealand Breakers. The 36ers will need to pay close attention to Cotton’s explosive offensive game, and Coach Wells has made it clear that they will focus on containing him, even with his recent hot streak.
The 36ers and Wildcats have a longstanding rivalry, and the match this Sunday is expected to be another intense encounter. In their last meeting in December 2023, the Wildcats defeated the 36ers 100-82 at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre, with Cotton leading the charge for Perth. However, with Davis back and the home crowd behind them, the 36ers are determined to turn the tide in this high-stakes game.
For fans, the action will be live on 10 Bold and ESPN via Kayo Sports. As both teams head into this crucial match, it’s sure to be an exciting battle as the Adelaide 36ers aim to snap their losing streak and make a statement against the powerhouse Perth Wildcats.
