Capitals sack development player Casey Samuels after incident

The Canberra Capitals have terminated the contract of development player Casey Samuels following an incident on the Gold Coast earlier this month.

The Caps released a statement saying “the organisation’s strong culture and values are fundamental to our success both on and off-court and the incident is at odds with our expectations and requirements of all personnel. We wish Casey all the best for the future.”

Samuels was charged with failing to leave a licenced premises and committing public nuisance after the Queensland incident on 6 February.

The charges were thrown out in court after the police offered no evidence against her in court.

The 27-year-old was stood down after the initial charges and was not allowed to participate in any games, training or promotional activity.

Meanwhile, the Caps are flying on the court having won six straight games to sit second on the ladder.

They play their final regular season game on Sunday afternoon against the Melbourne Boomers at the National Convention Centre.
