Giddey cleared to play

Josh Giddey is back for the Adelaide 36ers Round 2 clash with the New Zealand Breakers.

He might be the youngest player in the league, but 18-year-old Josh Giddey became the talk of the league after his dynamic performance on Sunday in the double overtime win over the Phoenix.

Along the way part of his dramatic performance was a heavy fall on his face after a breakaway dunk, and ultimately the after effects of that meant he had to miss Wednesday's return encounter with South East Melbourne.

That turned into a disappointing loss for the Sixers and there's no question Giddey's all-round talents were missed out on the floor, but he has now been cleared to return to play on Friday night against the Breakers at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre.
