The Breakers have cut loose former Tall Black Phill Jones and import Rick Rickert from their roster for this season.

Coach Andrej Lemanis says Jones has missed out to young Aucklander Tom Abercrombie.

Lemanis' desire is to give Abercrombie greater responsibility and more court time, and that counted against Jones.

Two new additions are Kiwis Alex Pledger and Jeremiah Trueman.

Lemanis says they are poised to sign another big name player from across the Tasman which won't leave room in the salary cap to retain Rick Rickert.
