Capitals star set to make season debut

The UC Capitals have received a massive boost ahead of Saturday's clash with arch rivals Sydney.

Australian Opals star Zitina Aokuso, who injured her knee during the maiden Townsville Tip Off, is set to make her season debut at the AIS Arena.

Her inclusion, announced by the Capitals on Friday, is a welcome addition to Paul Goriss' side, who sit in last spot on the ladder heading into Round 5, after suffering four straight defeats.

The Round 5 clash tips off at 3pm AEDT, live on ESPN and 9Now.

Tickets are still available here.
