The Melbourne Tigers having just lost Chris Goulding for 6-8 weeks to an ankle injury have just lost their star imoprt point guard Stephen Dennis and team captain Tommy Greer. Stephen Dennis has broken his Archilles and is out for the season while Tommy Greer has torn his pectoralis tendon and will be out for 3 months. This is very dissapointing for the Tigers and for the league, Stephen Dennis was an incredibly talented guard who could have a had massive season with the Tigers. They will struggle to find a strong replacement this late into the preseason with most leagues around the world about to kick off thier respective seasons. Head coach Chris Anstey had this to say concerning the injuries, “It’s extremely disappointing for both players. The guys love both Steve and Tommy on and off the court and are shattered for them.” The Tigers play the Adelaide 36ers in Mt Gambier this thursday as the preseason starts to draw to a close. Hopefully they can find a new gun import like Dennis and maybe we can see him back next season.
