The wife of golfer Jason Day has revealed that she felt as if she was "hit by a truck" after being knocked over by LeBron James during an NBA game last night.
Ellie Day was sitting courtside during the Cleveland Cavaliers' tie with the Thunder when she was taken out by James as he attempted to keep the ball in play. She was subsequently taken out of the arena by stretcher and escorted straight to hospital, where she received treatment for head and neck injuries.
In a message on Twitter on Friday, Day said of the incident: "More messages from getting plowed over by Lebron than Jason winning a major. HA.
"First of all, I am okay!! I am incredibly sore and exhausted. Being tackled by that large man I would compare to a minor car accident. My head and neck hit pretty hard so it was really scary. My whole body feels like it was hit by a truck.
"Second, it was so fast. I didn't remember until 2am seeing the ball come toward me. It was a blur. To the crazies that think Jason should have protected me - if he had had time to react, so would have I. Also, I would not have liked both dudes landing on me. Lebron is huge and had such momentum he could not have stopped!!"
James scored 33 points on the night to help the Cavs to a 104-100 win and end the Thunder's record-breaking winning streak in the NBA.
