NBL star Milton Doyle has declined an offer to remain with the Tasmania JackJumpers, instead reportedly agreeing to a one-year deal with Melbourne United for the upcoming NBL26 season.

The American guard’s departure marks the end of a successful three-year stint with the JackJumpers, where he played 96 games and earned the club’s MVP award for the NBL23 season.
