Player Spotlight: Tyler Harvey – The Hawks' Championship Catalyst

Tyler Harvey's impact on the Illawarra Hawks has been nothing short of transformative. Since joining the team in the 2020–21 season, where he earned All-NBL First Team honours, Harvey has consistently been a driving force behind the Hawks' success.

In the NBL25 season, Harvey elevated his game, averaging 17.9 points per game and leading the Hawks to a 20–9 record, securing the top spot on the ladder for the first time in the club's history . His clutch performances were pivotal in the Hawks' championship run, including a game-winning three-pointer in Game 2 of the Grand Final series against Melbourne United.

Harvey's excellence was recognised with his second All-NBL First Team selection, sharing the honour with teammate Trey Kell III. His leadership, both on and off the court, has solidified his status as a cornerstone of the franchise.

As the Hawks aim for back-to-back championships in NBL26, Harvey's role will be more crucial than ever. With his scoring prowess, veteran leadership, and unwavering determination, Tyler Harvey remains the heartbeat of the Illawarra Hawks' championship aspirations.
