Mavs star ruled out for entire Super Netball season

The Melbourne Mavericks are set to expand with news Molly Jovic is pregnant with her first child.

The superstar confirmed the news that she and partner Cameron are expecting their bundle of joy to arrive in July, and as such she will miss the forthcoming Super Netball season.

"Although I’ll miss being on court, I’m excited to focus on my family for this next period of time,” Jovic said.

“I’m also incredibly grateful for the support from the club and my teammates. I can’t wait to cheer them on from the sidelines this season, and at this stage the plan is to return to the court in 2027.”

A replacement player for Jovic will be announced in due course.

Congratulating the 30-year-old on the exciting news, Mavs GM Shae Bolton Brown said: “We are so excited for Molly and Cameron, and the soon-to-be new addition to their family.

“We will of course miss Molly on the court, but her contribution to the Mavs is about so much more than her netball.

"Her leadership and her off-court presence are equally invaluable, and whilst her looking after herself and her family will of course be her number one priority, we know that she will be no stranger around Mavs trainings, games and events in 2026.

“We are a young club in so many ways, and so we are thrilled to welcome the first Mavs baby into the fold.”
