“Ben was injured when a board collapsed on top of him during the team’s shot at Ais Arena, ahead of the last NBL Blitz game of the team,” said a press release from the Adelaide 36ers.
According to Australian Broadcasting Corporation, a hospital was located inside a five -minute car trip from the sand, but it took approximately 90 minutes to reach an ambulance.
“There were a number of other emergencies in the territory at the time of that call,” said an Act ambulance service official to The Outlet.

“As soon as we could send a paramedical crew to that patient they attended, and transported that patient in a stable condition to the emergency department,” added the spokesman.
Pak Gazette Digital requested comments from the Act ambulance service and the Australian government’s sport office, but did not immediately receive an answer.

The authorities said Grisci was “conscious, alert and breathing” before and during hospital transport. The team doctor attended Grisci before the emergency response vehicle arrived at the sand.
The injury is not expected to require surgery, the team said. Grisci has returned home since he suffered the rear fracture. There is currently no schedule for Grisci’s return to hard wood.
“He has traveled home to Adelaida and a schedule to return to the Court will not be established until he can obtain more medical tips to determine the next steps around the management of the injury,” the statement concluded.

However, Grisci pointed out through a NBL social networks that he intended to “return soon.” He also expressed his gratitude for the “messages of support.”
The NBL issued a statement, saying that the league was “deeply sad” after learning about Grisci’s injury.
