New Zealand NBL Rebounding Champion


The National Basketball League Rebounding Champion is an annual National Basketball League award given since the league's inaugural season to the player with the highest rebounds per game average of the regular season. The winner receives the Garry Pettis Memorial Trophy, which is named in honour of Pettis, a former New Zealand player and coach who is most notable for guiding the Canterbury Rams to the 1986 championship as head coach.
For the first time in its history, the Garry Pettis Memorial Trophy was not awarded in 2020.
