Day's wife taken to hospital after collision at NBA game

Ellie Day, the wife of PGA Tour star Jason Day, was taken to the hospital Thursday night after a courtside collision with LeBron James.

Day, who was sitting in the first row next to her husband at the Cleveland Cavaliers-Oklahoma City Thunder game, was flattened by James as the 6-foot-8-inch, 250-pound forward barreled toward the sideline while chasing a loose ball.

Day was down for several minutes and was later taken off the court on a stretcher, with her head and neck in a brace. Day, who was reportedly talking to medical personnel, was transported to a local hospital for further evaluation.
