Rocks, still Scotland’s only pro team though hopes continue that an Edinburgh franchise could return next year, open their season in the BBL away to the champions Newcastle Eagles at Northumbria University tonight.

Hide AdAchara, who completed a frustrating Olympic campaign, when he hardly touched the court, with an outstanding game v China, is still searching for a club, possibly in Italy and Germany, after being understandably unhappy with his reduced offer from his cash-strapped previous Spanish club Manresa.
Rocks go on to play Durham Wildcats on Sunday at Newton Aycliffe.
