The Perth Wildcats have condemned racist abuse directed at star forward Keanu Pinder.

Following a game during last week's NBL Indigenous Round, Pinder, a Nyul Nyul, Bunuba and Jabirr Jabirr man, posted screenshots of messages from Instagram users criticising his performance.

The messages included abhorrent language and racist slurs.

After defeating the Tasmania JackJumpers 88-82 in a game which saw Pinder score 13 points in 26 minutes of action, the Wildcats strongly condemned the "racist and abusive comments" directed at the 6'11" forward.

"There is no place for racism in sport or society. It has to stop," the club said in a statement.

"For it to happen during the NBL's Indigenous Round, a time for celebrating and acknowledging the Indigenous influence in our sport, is even more disappointing.

"We're proud of the club's Indigenous and multicultural ties and give our players as much support as they need.

"The club will continue to work with Basketball Australia's integrity unit to ensure that we do everything possible to end this saddening behaviour towards athletes on social media."

Pinder is averaging 14.1 points per game on 47.1 per cent shooting and 6.5 rebounds during NBL25 for the 5-6 Wildcats.

Last weekend, Wildcats coach coach John Rillie said avoiding social media wasn't the solution for online abuse directed at professional athletes.

"It's something that I make sure our players feel like they're supported," Rillie said.

"You can avoid social media, but you're still going to find out. Because someone thinks that they're helping you out by sending you a screenshot.

"If people knew some of the stuff athletes get sent behind closed doors... I feel for them."
