Guy Sebastian hobbles out of court on crutches during trial with former manager Titus Day after being rushed to hospital for shock injury
Guy Sebastian hobbled out of Sydney 's Downing Centre District Court on a set of crutches on Tuesday, just weeks after suffering a serious leg injur y. In May, Sebastian landed in hospital after tearing his Achilles tendon during a footy match with AFL great Brendan Fevola. The 43-year-old hitmaker, who is expected to take the stand this week during the embezzlement trial of his former manager Titus Day, sat in court wearing one shoe and a bandage on his injured foot. Dressed smartly in a sharp blue blazer and black trousers, Sebastian left the Downing Centre on his own. The singer's polished look - complete with a leather satchel slung across his shoulder - contrasted sharply with the visible strain of each step on the crutches. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. In May, Sebastian painfully tore his Achilles tendon during an ill-fated footy match. Sebastian and Fevola teamed up to help struggling club Masala Dandenong break a long losing streak in front of a buzzing crowd at Lois Twohig Reserve. What began as a quirky radio promotion turned into a gritty on-field performance, as Fevola and Sebastian led Masala to a tense 55–53 win over South Melbourne Districts. However, Sebastian's afternoon was cut short by injury with the pop star seen limping from the park in the fourth quarter. Sebastian is set to take the stand this week in the trial of his former manager Titus Day who is defending a raft of embezzlement allegations. Day is currently standing trial in the NSW District Court to defend against claims he embezzled hundreds of thousands of dollars in royalties and performance fees from Sebastian. He has pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of embezzlement as a clerk or servant and one count of attempting to dishonestly obtain financial advantage by deception. The trial commenced on Thursday and Sebastian is expected to take to the stand in 'the coming days', The Australian reported on Friday. The 43-year-old hitmaker, who is expected to take the stand this week during the embezzlement trial of his former manager Titus Day, sat in court wearing one shoe and a bandage on his injured foot Sebastian was first managed by Day when he worked as a senior client management executive for the 22 Management Agency, the jury was told on Thursday. In 2009, Day established his own agency 6Degrees, where Sebastian became the 'marquee client'. It was alleged the pair's relationship began to sour after Sebastian discovered what he alleged to be irregularities in financial records. It was also claimed that Day, who worked on a 20 per cent commission of Sebastian's income after costs, failed to pay royalties and performance fees collected on the Australian Idol winner's behalf. The publication reported that one of the charges related to a claim that Day failed to pay Sebastian $187,000 - a performance fee for his support act slot on Taylor Swift's 2013 Australian tour. During the first day of Day's trial on Thursday, Crown prosecutor Brett Hatfield SC informed the court that Sebastian had placed a 'significant trust' in his manager, who then 'abused' that trust by embezzling his money. Aside from Sebastian, Day has also managed a raft of high-profile clients including Grant Denyer, Sophie Monk, Tina Arena, and Stephanie Rice.

Is there a trade package from the Boston Celtics that could get Cooper Flagg on the roster?
Is there a trade package from the Boston Celtics that could get Cooper Flagg on the roster? Is there a trade package from the Boston Celtics that could get Cooper Flagg on the roster? Such a question normally would be a bit of a stretch, but with the Celtics future murky after the Achilles Tendon injury to star forward Jayson Tatum and a historic payroll and tax bill on the way, anything is possible when talking about the team that dealt away Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers. Or is it? The folks behind the "New England Sports Network" YouTube channel put together a clip exploring the possibility of a trade that would send Flagg to the Celtics, and while we are dubious even Boston's best offer would be enough to tip the scales, it is an exercise at least worth having. Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say about whether such a wild outcome could ever actually happen.

Could Jayson Tatum's injury end this iteration of the Celtics?
Jayson Tatum's pain was palpable. After lunging toward the ball with 2:58 left in Game 4 of the Boston Celtics' second-round playoff series against the New York Knicks on Monday, he collapsed onto the court. While lying on the hardwood at Madison Square Garden, he writhed 360-degrees. He grabbed at his right leg. He curled his head into his neck. After he was carried off the court to a wheelchair, he covered his face with both hands, overwhelmed by a gut-wrenching combination of pain and mental anguish. An MRI on Tuesday confirmed everyone's fear: Tatum suffered a torn Achilles tendon. The ramifications of such an injury are not only devastating for the 27-year-old superstar, but for the Celtics, who won a championship last season and whose hopes of remaining contenders now and in the near future are now upended. It can take a year to return from an Achilles tear. And even after a player comes back, he's often never the same. That's an incredible blow for the Celtics, who had stormed into the center of the basketball universe the last four years with two Finals appearances and an 8-2 record against Eastern conference teams in the postseason. Last year, they sailed through the playoffs with a 16-3 record en route to winning their first title in 16 years. This was the Celtics' time. Tatum and Jaylen Brown had finally figured out how to be complementary stars by putting aside their egos. They shrugged off Dallas Mavericks coach Jason Kidd calling Brown the best player on the team during the 2024 Finals, something that was widely considered to be a tactic intended to divide them. Tatum celebrated Brown winning Finals MVP. They had learned to root for each other instead of themselves. Meanwhile, Jrue Holiday, Derrick White and Kristaps Porzingis had developed into stars in their roles. Now, after watching Tatum crumple to the ground Monday, the Celtics' entire calculus has changed. In all likelihood, this is the end of this iteration of the franchise. The Celtics now face a 3-1 series hole against the New York Knicks and an even bigger existential dilemma: What's next for this team whose window for greatness has significantly shortened? Will the Celtics deal Holiday and Porzingis? Does Tatum's injury open the door for them to move Brown in what's shaping up to be a very interesting trade market, with both Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kevin Durant potentially up for grabs? Tatum and Brown have played together for eight seasons. Now, everything has changed for a team that was built on continuity. And now, everything has also changed for a player built on durability. (Tatum, who had helped lead the Celtics to the postseason in each of his eight years with the team, hadn't missed a postseason game until this run.) For Tatum, his reaction as he was wheeled off the court reflected a pain that was much deeper than the injury he suffered. This could be the end of everything he had poured himself into since he was drafted by the team as the third overall pick in 2017. Tatum had 42 points, eight rebounds, four assists, four steals and two blocks in Game 4 before his tendon gave out on him, doing everything possible on both ends of the court to prevent the Celtics from falling into an ominous 3-1 deficit. But in the end, it wasn't enough. And when he went down, the Celtics not only lost their superstar, but the vision they had for their future. It's highly unlikely that the Celtics will foot an exorbitantly high luxury tax bill for a team that Tatum – whose five-year, $313 million extension last summer became the largest NBA contract ever – won't even suit up for next season. And even before Tatum's injury, the Celtics' weaknesses had been exposed. The Cleveland Cavaliers surpassed the Celtics as the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference. Boston had a shaky December and January, losing nearly as many games as they won. And now, after dropping their first two home games against the Knicks and then losing essentially a must-win Game 4, the Celtics are on the brink of an unexpectedly early playoff exit. For a team that was popping bottles of champagne last June and now navigates an uncertain future under a new owner, change is coming. And for Tatum, in the blink of an eye, everything devolved into a giant unknown. Melissa Rohlin is an NBA writer for FOX Sports.

Celtics' Jayson Tatum is the latest of many star athletes who've torn an Achilles tendon
The diagnosis of a torn Achilles tendon for All-Star forward Jayson Tatum is a devastating blow to the defending champion Boston Celtics and the second injury of its kind during the NBA playoffs. Seven-time all-NBA guard Damian Lillard of the Milwaukee Bucks tore his left Achilles tendon during a loss to the Indiana Pacers on April 28.
