NBA Straya — December 17, 2024: Giddey injured

NBA Straya is Australia's favourite Daily NBA podcast.

Today's edition recaps in the most Aussie way possible all the Australians getting minutes in games on December 17, 2024 including Ben Simmons, Josh Giddey and Josh Green.

Giddey was playing a great game but twisted his ankle badly on a shot contest and had to leave the game. The Bulls won 122-121 (Game Centre). Giddey finished with 11 points, nine rebounds and eight assists in 24 minutes.

Brooklyn and "Box Hill Benny" Simmons got destroyed by destroyed 130-101 by Cleveland (Game Centre) while Josh Green started for the Charlotte Hornets by was on the losing size of the ledger 121-108 (Game Centre).

Green had 10 points and four steals and as Jaymz wonders, "maybe, he's been spending time with Dyson Daniels".
