Adelaide 36ers import Julius Hodge sat out the game against the Wollongong Hawks tonight under pressure from his agent not to play due to not being paid.

Julius Hodge’s latest pay cheque was due on December 15 had not been paid into his account before the Sixers’ stunning 109-91 win over reigning champion Melbourne at The Cage on December 27.

His pay still had not successfully been transferred before the 36ers’ New Year’s Eve match against Gold Coast, though Sixers club owner Mal Hemmerling yesterday said he no longer had Hodge’s money in his account.

The issue is still not resolved and hence he did not front up for the 36ers win over the Hawks tonight.
