Already a 5-time club MVP, he is showing no signs of slowing down and we have a fascinating discussion with the big man about why he will finish his career with the 36ers, why he has been so happy to settle in Adelaide and he opens up about his disappointment and frustrations over his lack selection over the years with the Australian Boomers. It is one of the best and most expansive interviews DJ has given and you don't want to miss it.

Hosts Chris Pike and Scott Ninnis are back on Sixers Fix and open up the show this week looking back on the losses in Round 10 of the 2021 NBL season for the Adelaide 36ers against the South East Melbourne Phoenix and Perth Wildcats. Scott found it especially hard to stomach the loss to the Phoenix after how well the 36ers had played for most of the four quarters before the trip to Perth and an encouraging showing against the Wildcats despite the absence of Humphries and Josh Giddey, and being without Sunday Dech, Keanu Pinder and Brandon Paul by the end.
