Jason Day’s Wife, Ellie, Tweeted To LeBron James So He Knew She Was Still Alive After Their Collision

There’s a good chance you saw the scary collision from last night where LeBron James went full steam into a fan sitting courtside during the Cavs-Thunder game—with that lady turning out to be PGA gofler Jason Day’s wife, Ellie Day.

With almost no time to react to James’ massive body coming and, ultimately, landing on her, Ellie went down hard from her seat, causing her to be carted off on a stretcher and being on everyone’s minds today to see what was up with her.

Thankfully, she tweeted the above note to James and said, “we good,” with the full transcript of the letter below:

Wow!! It’s official. More messages from getting plowed over by Lebron than Jason winning a major. HA.

First of all, I am okay!! I am incredibly sore and exhausted. Being tackled by that large man I would compare to a minor car accident. My head and neck hit pretty hard so it was really scary. My whole body feels like it was hit by a truck.

Second, it was so fast. I didn’t remember until 2am seeing the ball come toward me. It was a blur. To the crazies that think Jason should have protected me— if he had time to react, so would have I. Also, I would not have liked both dudes landing on me. Lebron is huge and had such momentum he could not have stopped!!

Third, people are saying its a money grab or some crap which is obviously absurd. Much like attending a golf event and risking getting hit with a ball, sitting court side you risk getting run into. I would never make anything more of it. They’re huge men doing their job. I was stabilized because I smashed my neck and head and obviously it was with great force.

Last, I am truly touched by the insane outpouring of support and those of you covering me in prayer. It could have been so much worse. I am thankful for so many things. One, that I didn’t have Lucy on my chest in her carrier, and that I wasn’t still pregnant. Also that Dash wasn’t with us. Also that Amy had my babies and got them to me at the hospital so I could feed little Lucy. It was my biggest concern when I came out of it. And that’s the end of my story. *^_^*

Much love to all of you ❤

Glad to hear that Ellie Day is doing OK and is back on the mend, because, shit, getting a 6’8″, 250-pound man like LeBron James has to be a scary sight—and, considering she compared it to being in a car crash, painful as hell!
