With their playoff hopes in the Australian basketball league still very much up in the air, the New Zealand Breakers' injury worries continue.

Key players Rick Rickert and Tom Abercrombie both have ankle injuries and face a race against time to be fit for Thursday's must-win home game against Wollongong.

The pair face fitness tests ahead of the key clash with the Hawks as the Breakers look for a victory over a playoff rival, with just two games left in the regular season after this week.
