Adelaide 36ers lose Moore for NBL season

Adelaide 36ers' hopes of making the NBL finals have been dealt a savage blow with US import Ramone Moore ruled out for the next five games.

Moore won't play again in the regular season because of a shoulder injury as the seventh-placed 36ers scrap to remain in finals reckoning.

The 36ers are level on points with fourth-placed Melbourne United and fifth-placed Brisbane, who they host on Saturday night in Adelaide.
