With Team USA Coming Up, Boomers Baynes Suffers Strange Injury

Team USA faces Australia early Thursday morning (12:15 AM EDT) and as you probably know, the Aussies have been a thorn in the US’s side lately, winning an exhibition game in Australia in 2019 and then upsetting the US again in another exhibition game before the Olympics, a loss which followed the angst of losing to Nigeria prior to that.

Well the Boomers have a weird development.

Aron Baynes, who plays for the Toronto Raptors, had a neck injury during a game against Italy. He left the court and then, following what is being characterized as a “complicated series of events,” further injured his neck in the bathroom.
