Cotton Injury: Misses Kings Game at RAC Arena
The Perth Wildcats are facing a blow to their roster as star forward, Bryce Cotton, will miss tonight's game against the Adelaide 36ers at RAC Arena due to a lower-leg injury.
The Wildcats, who have been on a roll in recent weeks, will be hoping the injury to their star player is not serious. Cotton, who has been instrumental in their success this season, sustained the injury in training on Friday.
"Bryce is a crucial part of our team, and we'll miss his presence on the court tonight," said Wildcats head coach Trevor Gleeson, expressing his disappointment. "But we have a deep and talented roster, and we're confident that we can still get the job done."
The absence of Cotton, who averages 20 points per game, will undoubtedly impact the Wildcats' offensive firepower. However, the team will rely on the contributions of other players like Mitch Norton, Terrico White, and Jesse Wagstaff to fill the void.
The Wildcats will be hoping for a quick recovery for Cotton, as they look to maintain their winning momentum in the NBL season.
Updates on Cotton's injury status are expected to be released in the coming days.
In the meantime, the Wildcats will be looking to secure a victory against the 36ers, showcasing their resilience and depth even in the absence of their star player.
This development comes as a significant setback for the Wildcats, who have been performing well in the recent weeks. The team will need to adapt to this new situation and rely on their depth to overcome the challenge. It will be interesting to see how the Wildcats perform without their star player and how this impacts their overall performance in the NBL season.
Stay tuned for further updates on Cotton's injury and the Wildcats' performance in tonight's game.
