Marshall said it's been tough to not play for this extended period, but explained it may have been a blessing in disguise. 

“It was pretty hard being a spectator,” Marshall told the Adelaide 36ers

“But it’s also been a nice little break, I’ve had been playing non-stop for so long, I don’t remember the last time I wasn’t playing.

“So, it’s been good to have a little break, do some rehab and watch my little brother take over.”

Marshall’s brother, Dylan, moved to the Pioneers from NBL1 Central's North Adelaide Rockets in the off-season. He is averaging 8.4 points per game in only 19 minutes per game for the fifth-on-the-ladder Pioneers. 

“He’s been balling out all season, so that was good to watch,” Marshall said.

Marshall, who hasn’t played since May 19, said the ankle injury was the first “big injury” he has had during his career.

“I did one (ankle injury) in College but it wasn’t as big as this one,” he said.
