CLUB STATEMENT:

The Sydney Kings have voided the contract of newly signed US import Lamonte Turner after he failed his team physical since arriving in Sydney.

The Hoops Capital club will not make any further roster changes to close out their NBL25 season.

The Kings will return to the court tonight, hosting Melbourne United from 7.15pm AEDT at Qudos Bank Arena.

Well, well, well. I'll still stick with united. So many brains in management and ownership group at kings and they make stuff ups like this, yes smith is still a part owner but would never happen under his control. Is it the Goorj get out jail card, I’ve always been a big fan of Goorj but this seems so stupid from start to end.

Goorjian will be spewing, but his PR people now have plenty of spin.

Wow. Watch the excuses start now.

United by 8.

Quick start by united, Bruce should have had that three counted, he's been very good.

Dumb second foul by Cooks

Kings 16- 32 United, let in 32 points. Cook two fouls and they are short of bigs. At this stage it's as dumb a side I’ve ever seen coached by Goorj.

Vickerman being polite to the refs as always.

Dumb turnover by Cooks followed by a dumb third foul not even halfway through second.

Goorj ripping in at the time out

He's completely lost them don't you think dunkman? To me it was just a rant. No clear message and players didn't look engaged

Players were completely ignoring him

Adams D is woeful.

Agreed Kolzee. Their season is on the line.

I don't necessarily hate Sydney, but I do have a bit of a chuckle the way it's imploding with the money they've spent their side/coach (on paper at least).

Yip. I don't care what franchise it is. I dislike any orgs that rather than strategically build a balanced and sustainable roster simply throw money at a bunch of stars, especially when they focus almost solely on offensive minded players

And on the other hand I love how MU manage their club and roster

Yep, I don't think many people outside of Sydney have much sympathy for an organisation with some loud-mouthed, cocky owners (who do a mostly a great job for their club btw) when things go pear-shaped for them.

Totally agree RE the timeout. Players seemed like they were tuning Goorj out.
Sydney's offence is so iso and then check up a bad shot.

These timeouts by Goorj remind me of the Olympics. He is cooked.

Goorj went to players that play D, Cooks into overdrive.

WTF am I watching?

This has become a full court streetball/track meet.

Why is adams not on the court? Is it because of his shooting? Even though goorj wants an extra PG so adams can sirens more time at SG??!

The most remarkable bit about this game is the fact that at the end of it Perth will be 3rd

I don't get it.

United didn't even attempt to slow the game down in the final minutes and are now wondering why they are in this situation. Derp.

Horrible shot selection by Kings yet they score on the O board.

Cooks really stepped up after those original stupid fouls. Oh my I've enjoyed it immensely.

Le'afa just bailed out Bruce for ja king up a brick when he should've got it to Kuol.

Jack White says goodnight, brilliant

ROFL, WTF did I just watch?

It's as if the NBL wants to play at full pace no matter what nowadays. Whatever happened to calming the farm a little and having some composure.

where everyone elects to play full court*

Perfect execution by United.

What a surprise to see Bruce involved in an ageo tussle.

"Ridiculous shot selection."

Indeed! It was bizzar to watch.

How long is Goorjian's contract for???

Perfect execution by United.

I'm with you PW but it exciting. No love lost by these two side.

Bruce and Cooks big for kings, such a crap start, their best offensive players are generally crap defenders.
White and Delly big for united. Great start got the win. After first quarter kings probably got 50/50 calls but I thought ref did a good job.

The most remarkable bit about this game is the fact that at the end of it Perth will be 3rd

Both teams played well in patches but would mostly be unsatisfied with where they're at.

Any chance Goorj just sent a very clear message to his imports, who his number one and if you can't play the role I have for you, these young buck will.

Where's adams in last five mins . He’s been shooting and attacking in that fumes. What’s goorg doing ,I think he still think he’s coaching Australia.

Goorj has always been better coaching teams with a few stars and more blue collar guys. His coaching of Australia both times probably proved that, he won the medal off Lemanis coaching.

Lamonte Turner was sitting in the stands to watch the game last night, gold

How did Sydney not see that back pick coming? I saw it before the inbounder even had the ball.
