Aussie’s ankles broken in pure NBA savagery

Australian basketball star Josh Giddey went viral for an unfortunate moment during a game against Cleveland on Sunday (AEDT). The Chicago Bulls point guard, who started the season impressively, faced a tough moment in the third quarter.

The Play That Shocked Everyone

Giddey was defending Cavaliers forward De’Andre Hunter on the three-point line. Hunter performed a quick right-to-left crossover, followed by a hesitation move, then a second devastating crossover that left Giddey frozen and off balance. The momentum caused Giddey to fall hard to the floor.

Hunter then took advantage of the open lane and executed a powerful dunk, narrowing the lead to five points midway through the third quarter.

“Oh he dropped Giddey and he hammers it home,” a commentator exclaimed during the play.

The Cavaliers bench erupted in celebration while fans in attendance were stunned at the display.
