Nelson-born Delany joined the Breakers in 2015 as a development player, slowly becoming a key figure before departing for German club Telekom Baskets in 2022.
He returned to the Breakers but suffered a calf injury in the first half of the campaign which left him sidelined for seven weeks.
"I will miss the energy in Spark Arena and playing for a home crowd. I'm so grateful for the club and all those I worked with at the Breakers," Delany said in a statement.
