Leaking roof cancels Boomers' Lithuania warmup game
The Australian Boomers were supposed to tip off at 7 a.m. against Lithuania this morning, in Buenos Aires. The game was unfortunately cancelled due to a leaking roof.
The game was delayed for over an hour, before it was finally called off.
According to Basketball Australia on Facebook, players had raised safety concerns, due to the court floor being slippery.
Warmup videos of the players warming up were filmed by journalist Jimmy Quijada Jr. A full Periscope replay of the warmup is also available.
