Sixers GM Statement
STATEMENT FROM 36ERS GENERAL MANAGER, DEAN PARKER.
As you are aware after last night's game against Perth there was an incident on court which involved players and coaches.
There has been a lot of speculation on many social media formats that have varied and I too have been guilty of commenting.
I have spoken with many of the coaching staff and players and stand by them fully.
We also give support to the NBL investigation and are co-operating fully with the NBL to ensure all the facts come to light so an informed decision can be made by the NBL judiciary.
Whilst these incidents can be unfortunate and regrettable for the next 24 hours the clubs priority is all about a crucial game on Sunday against the Melbourne Tigers.
As a result we expect this process to be resolved early to mid week as the NBL have been very supportive of our need to be properly prepared for Sundays game and not draw any focus from that. I thank the NBL very much through a difficult time is respecting our game and as a result Monday morning return to resolving this issue quickly and properly.
Whilst there are many opinions and in some cases a lot of facts unknown I would ask the whole basketball community to be patient and trust the process with the NBL.
Dean Parker
