Pro Golfer’s Wife Obliterated By LeBron James
The Cleveland Cavaliers held off Oklahoma City 104-100, ending the Thunder’s six-game winning streak.
Ellie Day was down for several minutes while she received medical attention, with a brace placed around her neck and head.
James said he spoke with Ellie Day while she was being helped by medical personnel during a stoppage in play. Ellie took the brunt of the collision with James, who is 6-foot-8 and weighs 260 pounds.
NBA Star LeBron James expressed concern after crashing on top of a fan sitting courtside at Thursday night’s Cleveland Cavaliers game. Also through her husband’s agent, Ellie released a statement (also via the AP) that she’s not holding any ill-will toward the Cavaliers or James.
“Honestly, the only thing I saw was LeBron diving for the ball to save the ball”, Blatt said.
Before he was given more information on her, James, who scored 33 points and flirted with a triple-double, was noticeably shaken when he left the floor following the Cavs’ win. “I mean, that doesn’t happen much”.
“I think it’s a great experience for our fans”, he said. “It’s unfortunate it happened tonight, but that doesn’t happen much”, he said of the incident.
“She squeezed my hand and said she was fine”. Sitting courtside is all part of the game. “Going for a loose ball just trying to keep a possession going and hate that was the end result of it”. “It’s pretty cool. If I was a fan, which I am a fan of the game, but, I would love to sit courtside and watch games”. “She was just a little tired”.
