Redbacks secure 54-point hero

Joe Cook-Green will return to the Perth Redbacks in 2025, after an eventful, history-making season in 2024. 

Cook-Green broke the all-time-single-game scoring record for both men's and women's last season with a 54-point game in a double-overtime extravaganza. 

Despite battling injury in 2024, Cook-Green was able to maintain averages of 20 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. 

"Joe was a major priority to re-sign in the off-season and I'm stoked to have got it done so early," Redbacks men's head coach, Charles Nix, said. 

"We are going to see Joe back as one of the best premier players in the West, after an injury interrupted 2024. He's such a relentless competitor and highly motivated. His work rate is renowned and is a great example for our entire squad."
