SHAW RECOVERING FROM HT SCARE

By Mark Woods on January 12, 2019

Worcester Wolves head coach Ty Shaw has been discharged from hospital after taking ill at half-time of Fridayâ€™s game against Sheffield.

It is understood a medical team was summoned to locker room with the American taken to hospital for treatment.

Although initial reports suggested Shaw had suffered a heart attack, treatment overnight led to his release on Saturday morning.

In a statement, Wolves managing director Mick Donovan said: “We are pleased to say that he has been discharged from hospital this morning and will be taking some time to rest and make a full recovery.â€

A decision was taken to continue with the game with the Wolves, currently bottom of the BBL, losing 114-76.

Post-game, it was also confirmed that Sharks forward Leslee Smith has left by mutual consent after recently being sidelined by concussion.

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
