Malith Machar

Has banged down the door to now earn a spot as a full roster player for the first time with Melbourne United for NBL26.

Originally from South Sudan, grew up in Adelaide and that's where he started playing his basketball once he returned from four years at Midland College in Texas.

Started playing in the NBL1 Central with the Forestville Eagles before spending both the NBL23 and NBL24 seasons at Melbourne as a development player.

Remained as a training player at United in NBL25 before a brilliant 2025 season in the NBL1 South on the championship winning Sandringham Sabres team where he delivered 21.3 points and 4.9 rebounds while shooting 51 per cent from the field and 41 per cent from downtown.
