On 24 April 2013, following the conclusion of the 2012–13 season, Lemanis was announced as the new head coach of the Australian men's national basketball team.
The Breakers re-signed Cedric Jackson,[6] Leon Henry,[7] Tom Abercrombie,[8] Dillon Boucher,[9] Mika Vukona,[10] C. J. Bruton,[11] Alex Pledger, Daryl Corletto and Josh Bloxham (DP).
Two of the New Zealand Breakers' roster and coach Andrej Lemanis took part in the event.
[48] The New Zealand Breakers were placed in the "South" team for the All-Star game, along with the Adelaide 36ers, Melbourne Tigers and Perth Wildcats.
This was decided because the Breakers had the top NBL ladder spot of the South teams at the end of Round 9, when the decision was made.
