Tall Blacks and Breakers big man Rob Loe has been ruled out of tonight’s Sal’s NBL clash between the Auckland Tuatara and the Southland Sharks in Invercargill.
Loe has been a standout for the Tuatara as they’ve won the opening two games of the season but will miss the game with a hip injury.
The issue appears to be minor but coach Aaron Young and the team’s medical staff have opted to be cautious given Loe’s importance to the side long-term.
Conor Flanagan will travel to Invercargill as a replacement.
The Tuatara hope Loe will be fit to play against the Wellington Saints on Sunday.
