Scotland's men saw their winning run in the Commonwealth Games basketball tournament end in the semi-finals following a 103-46 defeat to Australia. After finishing the group stage unbeaten with four victories, Scotland found the gulf in class too great as the hosts eased to victory.
Jesse Wagstaff was the top scorer for Australia with 17 points in the win. The Scots will now face New Zealand's in the bronze medal match on Sunday after the Kiwis lost 88-86 to Canada.
After South Korea's basketball league kicked out a foreign player for being too tall, news reports have since emerged of athletes desperately trying to shrink themselves.A new height limit imposed on the sport has drawn both controversy and ridicule for its attempt to cut foreigners down to size.The Korean Basketball League (KBL) recently angered fans when it announced a significant change in the rules.Each team in South Korea can have only two foreign players. Starting with the 2018-19 season, one of these players must not be taller than 200cm (6ft 6in), while the other one cannot be taller than 186cm.This meant that one of the country's most popular foreign players - an American called David Simon - had to leave. At 202.1cm, he had missed the cut-off by just millimetres.
Just to be that close and not be able to make it, kind of stinks. Doesn't look like I'll be going back there to play unless they change the rule again."
