Career highlights and awards

Majok Maker Majok (born 10 December 1992) is a South Sudanese-Australian professional basketball player for the South East Melbourne Phoenix of the National Basketball League (NBL). He played college basketball for the Ball State Cardinals for two years, leading the Mid-American Conference (MAC) in rebounding and earning third-team all-conference honors in both seasons. He is a three-time NBL champion, winning in 2018 with Melbourne United, 2020 with the Perth Wildcats, and 2024 with the Tasmania JackJumpers.

Early life and career

Majok was born in Rumbek, South Sudan, and moved to Australia when he was eight.[1] His family settled in Perth. He initially played soccer before developing a liking for basketball in high school at Kingsway Christian College.[2][3] In 2007 and 2008, he played in the State Basketball League (SBL) for the East Perth Eagles and Kalamunda Eastern Suns respectively.[4][5]

After drawing interest from overseas scouts, Majok moved to the United States and played two years of high school ball at Northfield Mount Hermon School in Massachusetts.[6][7]

College career

Majok played two seasons in junior college at Midland College in Texas before transferring to Ball State University in Indiana. He played two seasons for the Cardinals, leading the MAC in rebounding and earning third-team all-conference honors in both years. As a senior in 2013–14, he averaged 11.2 points and 10 rebounds per game to become the first Ball State player to average a double-double in a season since Theron Smith in 2001–02.[7]

Professional career

After college, Majok moved to Slovenia and joined Helios Suns for the 2014–15 season.[8] In 32 games, he averaged 6.9 points and 6.2 rebounds per game.[1][3]

After feeling homesick,[1] Majok returned to Australia and signed with Melbourne United of the National Basketball League on 9 July 2015.[9][10] He helped Melbourne win the minor premiership in 2015–16 with a league-best 18–10 record while averaging 5.5 points and 7.1 rebounds per game. He averaged 5.7 points and 5.9 rebounds in 2016–17.[11]

On 21 April 2017, Majok re-signed with United for the 2017–18 NBL season.[12] During the offseason, he participated in a mini-camp with the Dallas Mavericks before their 2017 NBA Summer League.[13][14] In March 2018, he was a member of United's championship-winning team. Injuries restricted much of his season,[15] and in 22 games, he averaged 2.7 points and 2.7 rebounds per game.[11]

On 16 April 2018, Majok signed with the Wellington Saints for the 2018 New Zealand NBL season.[15][16]

On 4 May 2018, Majok signed a one-year deal with the New Zealand Breakers.[17][18]

On 10 March 2019, Majok signed with the Frankston Blues for the 2019 NBL1 season.[19]

On 8 July 2019, Majok signed a two-year deal with the Perth Wildcats.[20] In March 2020, he was crowned an NBL champion for the second time in his career.[21][22] In June 2020, the Wildcats exercised the club option on Majok's contract to retain him for the 2020–21 season.[23] However, in November 2020, he was ruled out for the season after suffering an Achilles tendon injury at team training.[24] In March 2021, the Wildcats won the mid-season NBL Cup.[25][26]

On 6 July 2021, Majok re-signed with the Wildcats on a two-year deal.[27] He averaged 5.3 points and 5.2 rebounds in 28 games during the 2021–22 NBL season.[28] He joined the Warwick Senators of the NBL1 West in July 2022.[29]

Majok returned to the Wildcats for the 2022–23 NBL season and then played for the North Gold Coast Seahawks during the 2023 NBL1 North season.[30]

On 7 August 2023, Majok signed with the Tasmania JackJumpers as a nominated replacement player (NRP) ahead of the 2023–24 NBL season.[30] On 5 January 2024, his NRP contract came to an end and he was re-assigned to a training player.[31] He did not play for the JackJumpers during the season[32] but was a member of their championship-winning squad in March 2024,[33][34] becoming a three-time NBL champion.[35]

Majok joined the Ballarat Miners of the NBL1 South for the 2024 season.[36]

On 15 August 2024, Majok signed with the South East Melbourne Phoenix for the 2024–25 NBL season.[35]
