Elijah Pepper

Elijah Pepper will have the ball less now Brandon Knight is in, Perth Wildcats coach John Rillie said: "his usage won't be at the same level as it has been, but then he can become a more efficient player." It also moves players back to their natural positions, he said.

Jo Lual-Acuil Jr is out for Perth, but Elijah Pepper said he is still "a major part of practice." On Brandon Knight against the Breakers: "I have no clue on if he's playing or not." Pepper said Knight is moving and practising well and is "going to be our point guard."
