It's March 30th. Welcome to Sydney News Today, powered by AI, I'm Cory with the story. Adelaide 36 is just about a formal complaint with the NBA-Lagan Sydney Kings co-owner and assistant coach Andrew Bogut for Body Shaming. Their owner, Grant Kelly, Bogut, the NBA vet, posted a Twitter pic comparing Kelly to Peter Griffin from Family Guy after Friday's game. This amps up the trash talk in their Best of Five Championship Series, where Sydney now leads two games to one. The sixers drop the statement this morning, calling out persistent personal attacks and making it clear, Body Shaming ain't a joke, it causes real, anxiety and distress. They're notifying the league now and plan to dig deeper with regulators during the off season. Bogut's the only owner on the Kings bench under coach Brian Gorgian. Tensions boiled over from game three, where sixers coach Mike Wells ripped the rest for letting Sydney rough up their MVP Bryce Cotton. Cotton played nearly 40 minutes, drew just three fouls, and got draped by Matthew Delevedeva

with zero calls on him after half time. Kings only gave up four fouls, total post break, letting Delevedeova play physical without penalty. Wells said it killed freedom of movement, turning hoops into something closer to footy. Game four hits Adelaide Wednesday night. I, if the sixers win, they force a decider and keep their first title shot since 2002 alive amid all.
