Video: Australian basketball player sent off for this elbow smash on opponent

Who ever said this was a non-contact sport?

Josh Childress of the Sydney Kings made ribbons out of opponent Jesse Wagstaff.

Former NBA star Childress is facing a lengthy ban for this attack on the Perth player, which happened late in the third quarter of Friday night’s win for the Wildcats.

Wildcats coach Trevor Gleeson said: “I thought it was a pretty cheap shot.

“There’s no room for that in our game. I hope the league takes a stand on it because it wasn’t deserved. You do that in AFL and you’re out. Anything around the head is a no-no.”
