CLEVELAND (AP) – LeBron James crashed into the crowd and injured the wife of golf star Jason Day during the Cleveland Cavaliers’ game Thursday night.

Ellie Day was taken from the arena on a backboard. There was no immediate report on her condition.

James was scrambling for a loose ball in the fourth quarter of a 104-100 win over Oklahoma City. The 6-foot-8 All-Star plowed into her as she sat in a courtside side.

Day is the No. 2-ranked golfer in the world. He won the PGA Championship this year for his first major win on the PGA Tour.

On Nov. 11, Ellie gave birth to the couple’s second child, a girl named Lucy.
