NBL25's class of Next Stars is looming as one of the top groups of emerging hoops talent anywhere in the world. Stay informed as to how each of the competition's brightest stars played on the weekend with NBL Media's Next Stars Wrap.

Izan Almansa started in both Round 11 games for the Perth Wildcats, and his chemistry with star Bryce Cotton was impressive. The Spanish Next Star scored 23 points and grabbed 16 rebounds across the two games, and was instrumental in the team’s success against Adelaide on Sunday. 

Rocco Zikarsky and the Brisbane Bullets went 2-0 in Round 11, with massive wins in New Zealand and Melbourne. With Tyrell Harrison back in the lineup and performing at a very high level, Zikarsky saw his playing time diminished after coming off a 13-point, 8-rebound outing in Perth last week. 

The Sydney Kings went to New Zealand and pulled off a very important win, avenging the loss they suffered at the hands of the Breakers at home earlier in the season. Alex Toohey started and played for over 23 minutes, combining 7 points and 8 rebounds, including an eye-catching put-back dunk. 

Karim Lopez and the Breakers suffered two losses at home, and have now collected four losses in a row since re-shaping the roster around the FIBA window. Lopez still gave some flashes of his talent and athleticism, in particular when he met Cam Oliver at the rim against the Kings. 

Consistency is the word for Malique Lewis: the Next Star for SEM Phoenix had yet another all-around game at home against Cairns, helping his team collect another home win as they make their push for the Finals. Lewis had 10 points and 7 rebounds, cementing his status in Josh King’s rotations.
