Kirk Penney's back injury saga is likely to go into another week.

Penney couldn't train fully with the Breakers on Wednesday for Thursday night's home match against the Adelaide 36ers.

Coach Andrej Lemanis says he might get Penney into a singlet but he still needs to do more work.

He had improvement at training on Monday, but his back tightened up again on Tuesday.

Penney is working on strengthening other muscles to compensate and a modern day blacksmith is also having a look at making minor adjustments to his shoes.
