Penney to miss 36ers, Cats games
The Penney circus continues.
From Stuff.co.nz:
Kirk Penney's soap opera of a basketball season has taken another twist, with the Breakers star pulling out of the "Doomsday Double" in Australia this weekend to stand up at his brother's wedding in Italy.
Penney has been released with the blessing of both his Breakers team-mates and management to head to Italy where he will be best man for his brother, meaning the club heads off for the toughest road trip in the league without its best, and highest-paid, player.
Penney's brother, Rodd, is a professional rugby player with Parma in Italy and sprung the surprise wedding on his family just a few weeks ago.
"My brother got engaged not so long ago, and he's having a very quick wedding," Penney told Stuff.co.nz. "The whole family has had to scramble a little bit to get to Italy in time for it."
