VIDEO: LeBron James teaches Jason Day’s wife the harsh, painful reality of sitting courtside

Determined

LeBron usually gets what he wants. This time, he wanted the ball.

Ellie Day was getting out and about again after having her second child, with husband Jason, in November.

It all started off so well.

She was enjoying the Cleveland Cavaliers’ NBA clash with Oklahoma Thunder when King James absolutely clattered into her.

James was chasing down a loose ball, as he tried to protect his side’s 98-91 lead, when he tumbled rump first into Day. The Australian golfer was sitting next to his wife but could do little to help.

Day was down on the court for several minutes and, after receiving medical treatment, she was placed in a neck brace and stretchered off.

Day was taken to a nearby medical centre for a check. Once we have a further update, we will let you know.
