Cavaliers star LeBron James plows into crowd, injures wife of golf star Jason Day
CLEVELAND – The wife of PGA champion Jason Day is suffering from concussion symptoms after NBA star LeBron James crashed into her during a Cavaliers game.
Day’s agent, Bud Martin, issued a statement Friday morning saying Ellie Day “is resting comfortably and appreciates all of those who have reached out and are concerned about her.” He adds she has no “no hard feelings” toward James and quotes her as saying, “He was just doing his job. Go Cavs.”
The statement thanks her doctors, emergency medical staff and the entire Cleveland Cavaliers organization for their help.
Ellie Day was carried from Quicken Loans Arena on a backboard, placed on a stretcher with her head immobilized and taken to MetroHealth Medical Center on Thursday night. She was released early Friday morning.
James was scrambling for a loose ball in the fourth quarter of a 104-100 win over Oklahoma City when the 6-foot-8, 250-pound All-Star launched himself into the air, plowing into Day as she sat next to her husband.
