Basketball Australia is saddened with the news yesterday that a young boy playing in the Basketball WA State Championships tragically collapsed at Warwick Stadium and later passed away in hospital.
The thoughts of all at Basketball Australia are with the family, the Lakeside Basketball Club and the entire basketball community in Western Australia at this difficult time.
In the spirit of reconciliation Basketball Australia acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
