Jackson Ball, a 17-year-old player, has scored 76 points for the Hawke's Bay Hawks in two games this season. The team is currently 2-0 in the NBL. The Hawks are aiming for a sell-out crowd for their upcoming match against the Otago Nuggets. They recently won two home games, including a close victory over the Manawatū Jets. Hawks general manager Jarrod Kenny noted the team's growing popularity and hopes for attendance to return to pre-Covid levels. The arena can hold about 1,200 fans, and the atmosphere has been lively despite smaller crowds.
