Jason Day says his wife took LeBron James clash ‘like a champ’

Ahead of the Hyundai Tournament of Champions on Wednesday, Jason Day was asked about the scary clash his wife had when LeBron James barreled into the crowd during a game where they were sitting courtside last month.

As we previously reported, the Cleveland Cavilers star went after a loose ball and into the crowd where the golfer and his wife, Ellie, were. Ellie ended up leaving the game on a stretcher, but is doing fine now and Day spoke to reporters and even joked about the moment James came towards them.

“All of a sudden, we see a ball come down and across and I go to kind of put my hand, because I, you know, thought it was going to go out-of-bounds and I was going to throw it back to someone. All of a sudden it comes flying from the side and no one knows what to do and he [James] just jumps.

“It happened so quick, I’m going to do that? I’m not going to stop a 260-pound guy that’s 6-8 running full speed. Ellie took it like a champ, though.

“Once I saw her, she was on the ground, she was kind of freaking out a little bit about her neck and once they started doing the test the on her, she’s moving her legs, hands, feet, arms, I knew everything was going to be okay. We just had to make sure we got to the hospital without her moving her neck. And everything was going good. She had a concussion, post-concussion symptoms.”
