The 36ers pre-season tour of China has finished with an 0-3 record which isn't much of a concern given it was pretty much a second string 36ers team minus Ervin, Gibson, Petrie & BJ Anthony for all three games. Joey Wright said he was really impressed with our other new import Jarrid Frye.

Aside from the loss to Utah Valley University the 36ers also lost to Lithuanian based Eurocup team Prienai Tonybet 89-64 and chinese league team Dongguan Leopards 96-92 who are coached by former NBL coach Brian Goorjian.

Also tonight the Cairns Taipans playing with no imports beat St Mary's College 86-68. Cam Tragardh had 21, Cam Gliddon 17 and Clint Steindl 15.

Bit of an odd story but NBL legend and former Wildcats import/coach Scott Fisher has been caught up in the divorce of legendary Hollywood actor Clint Eastwood!

FORMER Perth Wildcats coach and player Scott Fisher has been caught up in the high-profile split of Hollywood legend Clint Eastwood and wife Dina.

Sources say Fisher, 50, has rekindled a high-school romance with former TV news anchor Dina, Eastwood's second wife.

"Dina is in love with Scott," a source told The National Enquirer, as reported by PerthNow.

"It's like high school all over again."

Both Fisher and Dina grew up in Fremont, California. They both attended Mission San Jose High School in Fremont.
