Australian basketball player Aron Baynes was ruled out of the rest of the Tokyo Olympics after slipping in the bathroom and aggravating a neck injury.
Forward Baynes, who scored 14 points in as many minutes in Australia’s 86-83 win over Italy, will be sidelined for several weeks, according to Team Australia chief Ian Chesterman.
“He did suffer an injury during the match [against Italy] on court and then he had a slip in the bathroom and suffered more injury,” an Australian team doctor said.
The 34-year-old’s injury is a big setback for Australia, who are top of Group B after winning their opening two matches and are aiming to win an Olympic medal in the event for the first time after four fourth-placed finishes.
