Diving For A Loose Ball, LeBron James Sends Fan To Hospital

It was the game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Oklahoma City Thunder.

After the game, four-time NBA MVP James apologised via Twitter and privately.

Ellie Day said getting run over Thursday night by LeBron James feels like she was “hit by a truck”.

“I am okay!! I am incredibly sore and exhausted”.

Day was taken from the arena in a stretcher with her neck in a brace.

Chasing a loose ball in the fourth quarter, LeBron James slammed into Ellie Day, the wife of golfer Jason Day.

The statement also thanks her doctors, emergency medical staff and the Cavs for their help. James was seen checking up on Day repeatedly as she was given medical attention. “I think it’s a great experience for our fans and it’s unfortunate that happened tonight”. “Obviously, her health is very important, and hopefully she’s doing well”.

So Ellie did what we all do in 2015 and wrote out a message to those concerned for her – and the haters. James, who is six foot six inches tall and weighs 266 pounds, tried to get a loose ball back in play, crashed into her seat and both of them sprawling backwards to the floor. A spokesperson for the hospital later said that she has been released.

The Day family recently gave birth to a child, Lucy, on November 11 and have a son named Dash.

Ellie was also quick to defend her hubby from the critics who accused him of bailing out on his wife. Richard Jefferson added 13 points off the bench for Cleveland, now 31-2 in regular season games at home since January 15.

The Days were sitting in a section of seats at Quickens Loans Arena in the first row next to the Thunder bench. Jason chipped foam basketballs at spectators as part of a team promotion a few minutes before his wife was injured. As fans cheered, the Australian chipped foam basketballs into the crowd.

Cavs coach David Blatt, who spent years coaching in Europe, has always been anxious about courtside fan safety.

It was a terrifying moment on live TV as LeBron James plowed full-speed into a defenseless fan sitting courtside.
