Loe blow for Breakers

The Breakers are likely to be without stoic centre Rob Loe for some time, after the 28-year-old sustained a skull fracture in the side’s big win over the Illawarra Hawks in the Australian NBL on Thursday night. Loe left the court clutching his head just four minutes into the game after a seemingly innocuous collision with Illawarra guard LaMelo Ball. He was unable to return to the game and was hospitalised. Initial reports of a fractured skull were confirmed by the Breakers yesterday. However, the club won’t know anything more on just how serious the injury is until Loe undergoes more tests in hospital over the weekend.
