The Sutherland District Basketball Association is thrilled to announce the return of Jovan Paravinja to the Sharks NBL1 Men’s team for the 2026 Season. Jovan will enter his second season with the Sharks and will look to cement his spot in coach Roger’s rotation. An athletic wing, Paravinja brings defensive steel and a whole lot of offensive flair to the Sharks’ line-up, already boasting the likes of Ryan Abbot and Bailey Macarthur.
Sharks General Manager Adrian Dark said “Jovan came to us in 2025 and made the Sharks his home. He is a great person who fits the team culture that we have here. He is an exciting young player who impacts the game through his athleticism and length both at the offensive and defensive ends of the floor. Jovan is really important to our team makeup and I think 2026 will be a year he showcases his full array of skills.”
Jovan and the rest of the Sharks Men’s team will battle the Sydney Comets on the opening night of the 2026 NBL1 East regular season at the Shark Tank Saturday, 28th March, Women 5pm & Men 7pm.
