Adelaide 36ers participant Ben Griscti is in a steady situation after being injured when a backboard collapsed on prime of him.
A spokesperson for the membership confirmed stories that the 23-year-old was injured when a teammate’s dunk broke the backboard and introduced the construction down throughout a coaching session on Saturday afternoon.Â
The incident occurred on the AIS Enviornment in Canberra because the 36ers had been making ready to face the Tasmania JackJumpers within the pre-season NBL Blitz match.Â
