Bad break for Israeli star

Israeli basketball star Omri Casspi broke his thumb on his debut for the New Orleans Pelicans last week, having just moved to the club from the Sacramento Kings. The Pelicans will be required to cover the remainder of the $6m, twoyear contact Mr Casspi signed with the Kings in 2015. “It sucks. It’s terrible luck and very frustrating but I’ve just go to try and recover as quickly as possible,” said Casspi
