McDowell-White will fill the vacant spot on the Breakers' roster left by Rob Loe, who returned home to New Zealand for "personal reasons" in February.
McDowell-White, a 6'5 combo guard, was recently named to Brian Goorjian's 24-man Australian Boomers squad, and has attended training camp with the Houston Rockets over the past two seasons.
The signing is a return to the NBL for McDowell-White, who played the first season of his professional career with the Sydney Kings in 2016.

The gripping finale concluded when Breakers import Lamar Patterson, whose three-pointer with 17.8 seconds remaining gave his side a sniff, missed his next attempt on the buzzer that would have forced double-overtime.
For the Breakers, Tai Webster (34 points) sizzled in his first NBL game in almost eight years before fouling out with 11.8 seconds left, Tony Crocker's ensuing free throws giving the Sixers the cushion they needed.

NBL New Zealand Breakers' Dan Trist in accidental COVID breach

As a consequence of that visit, Trist is regarded by the Western Australian Government as having been in close contact with a person who has been in a restricted zone (Victoria) in the past 14 days.
It means Trist is unable to enter WA for the Breakers' game against the Perth Wildcats in round three on January 31.
He was immediately isolated from the rest of the team to ensure that the Breakers remain eligible to enter WA without need to quarantine.
