Casey Frank has returned to Auckland after a brief stint filling in at the West Sydney Razorbacks for the injured Nick Horvath, the Razors bringing in 2.08m American centre Joel Cornette.

Frank is sweating on gaining New Zealand citizenship ahead of the Commonwealth Games so he can press for the one import spot allowed under FIBA rules, currently held by Nelson's Ed Book.
