Ellie Day, the wife of the number two golfer in the world, had to be hospitalized because Lebron James fell on her while attending the Oklahoma City Thunder – Cleveland Cavaliers match on December 17.
Ellie and her husband sat in the front row, next to the coaching bench of the Oklahoma City Thunder. This row of seats is often called “Nicholson seat” because it is the position where veteran actor Jack Nicholson often sits to watch the Los Angeles Lakers play. They are several meters lower than the competition floor.

During an attempt to save the ball, James lost momentum and fell into Ellie. The American basketball star caused two chairs of Ellie and a nearby audience to break, and Jason Day’s wife was crushed under James’ 113 kg body.
“I was so hurt and exhausted when a big man crushed me, it was like a car accident. My head and neck were shaken so hard, it was really scary. My whole body felt like it had been hit by a truck,” Ellie recounted.
Some comments criticized Jason Day because this golfer sat right next to him and could not protect his wife. However, Ellie thought it happened so fast that even she didn’t have time to react.
“Blaming Jason for not being able to protect me is silly. If he had time to react, so did I. I also don’t want both of them to fall on me. Lebron is big and lost momentum, he couldn’t stop,” Ellie said.
Lebron James later also apologized to Ellie. “Of course, her health is very important to me. Hope she’s okay. Everyone said she’s recovering well. You know, I just wanted to save the ball. It’s too bad that the result turned out like that.” like this,” he wrote on Twitter.
James does not think the above accident will cause people to have to remove seats near the field.
Jason Day (wearing his hat backwards) was sitting next to his wife when the accident happened.
“I think sitting there will give the fans a great experience. Such accidents rarely happen. It’s unfortunate that it happened last night. Fans bring excitement to the match. Sitting close to the yard is great. If I were a fan, I would also want to sit in that row,” said the two-time NBA champion.
