Basketball: Tall Black ready for comeback

Tall Blacks guard Lindsay Tait will launch his comeback from injury in the National Basketball League for Wellington. Tait's signing was confirmed a day after the team's former import Nick Horvath obtained his New Zealand citizenship to become eligible for the Tall Blacks as non-restricted player.

Tait has won three NBL titles with Auckland. He has been out of action since December after dislocating his shoulder, which required reconstruction surgery, while playing for the Wollongong Hawks in the Australian league.
