Perth Wildcats coach Trevor Gleeson has vowed to weed out his underperforming stars after watching his team crash to their third straight NBL loss on Thursday night.Wildcats forward Matt Knight suffered what appeared to be a serious hip injury during the upset 90-75 loss to Brisbane at Perth Arena.It was Perths third home loss this season, and leaves them precariously placed with a 6-6 record heading into a string of away matches.Wildcats players and coaches held a heart-to-heart meeting earlier this week in a bid to clear the air and get their season back on track.But the players came out flat against Brisbane, and trailed 49-29 at halftime.Gleeson didnt mince his words after the loss, declaring he will bench his stars if they dont lift their act.Weve got too many passengers, Gleeson said.And weve got to weed those guys out, and play the guys that are playing at the level required.We need our senior players to lead by example. Our backs are against the wall without a question.Weve got to find a way to get it done and to support each other. Theres not enough team work in that.Weve got a hard battle again. Were going to find out some home truths very shortly.When asked how he could weed out so many players without bringing anyone else in, Gleeson replied: Well just play the DPs (development players).Mason Bragg deserved to play a lot of minutes.He would have played even longer if he hadnt got a smack in the mouth at the end.Import Jaron Johnson failed to fire against the Bullets, scoring just six points in 18 minutes of court time.But he wasnt alone, with only Casey Prather (22 points) able to hold his head up high.Knight was stretchered off the court and sent off for an X-ray after injuring his left hip while falling to the floor in the third quarter.The 31-year-old has battled shoulder issues for the past year, and Gleeson hopes the latest injury isnt serious.If Knight is ruled out for Saturdays clash with the 36ers in Adelaide, the Wildcats will attempt to get clearance to sign Lucas Walker as an injury replacement for the second time this season.Wildcats skipper Damian Martin (knee) isnt due back until mid-January.Bullets coach Andrej Lemanis was proud of the way his team bounced back from last weeks 18-point loss to Adelaide.Keeping them to 38 per cent from the field is a good defensive effort, Lemanis said.And on the back of that, them only having 12 offensive rebounds is a testament to the commitment we made on doing the effort things.And offensively, we got back to sharing the ball.

LONDON -- Usain Bolt looked in fine shape for the Olympics by winning his last race before Rio de Janeiro on his return from injury.Keni Harrison also looked more than ready for Brazil by breaking a 28-year record in the 100-meters hurdles in London on Friday.Only unlike Bolt, Harrison is not going to the Olympics.While Bolt is Rio-bound despite being forced to pull out of the Jamaican trials with a hamstring injury, Harrison failed to make the American track squad after a poor performance at her trials.Instead, Harrison will have to settle for her record-breaking night at the London Diamond League meet being her crowning moment of the summer.The 23-year-old Harrison ran 12.20 seconds on the site of the 2012 Olympics to surpass Yordanka Donkovas previous mark of 12.21 set in August 1988; before the American was born.Not making the Olympic team I was really upset, Harrison said. And I wanted to come out here and do what I know what I could have done (in Rio).Even sweeter for Harrison was finishing ahead of compatriots Brianna Rollins and Kristi Castlin, who both qualified for the Olympics ahead of her.You have one bad day but I knew I still had it in me, Harrison said, referring to her sixth-place finish at the U.S. trials earlier this month. I was coming out here with just vengeance to show these girls what I have.Bolt rarely has anything to prove to anyone. But the six-time Olympian champion had to show in London that he hasnt been slowed by the hamstring injury that led to him withdrawing from his countrys Olympic trials.In his first 200-meter race of the season, the worlds fastest man ran 19.89 seconds at the same Olympic Stadium where four years ago he took golds from the 100, 200 and 4x100-meter relay races.dddddddddddd On Friday, Bolt finished ahead of Alonso Edward of Panama and British runner Adam Gemili, clocking below LaShawn Merritts world-leading time of 19.74.Im not fully in shape. I need more work but over time I will be fine, Bolt said. I could feel the rust. The execution up there wasnt perfect but it was my first run so I cant complain.The only complaints Bolt had were targeted at American rivals who had lightly suggested -- not strongly -- that he got preferential treatment by being allowed to skip the Jamaican trials.I felt it was a joke, the Bolt said. I felt it was a disrespect the fact they think Id back out of a trials. Me, Usain Bolt who has proven myself year (after) year that Im the greatest.I laughed when I heard it. I was disappointed, especially in Justin Gatlin.Elsewhere in London, there was a trio of French winners: Jimmy Vicaut ran a sluggish 100 meters in 10.02 seconds, Pierre-Ambroise Bosse clocked 1 minute, 43.88 seconds in the 800 and Renaud Lavillenie cleared 5.9 meters in the pole vault.Olympic triple jump Christian Taylor prepared for his defense in Rio by reaching 17.78 meters.There were a couple of victories for British women on the fast newly-laid track: Laura Muir in the 1,500 as well as the quartet of Asha Philip, Desiree Henry, Dina Asher-Smith and Daryll Neita in the 4X100-meter relay.The meet continues for a second day on Saturday.
