Tasmania coach Scott Roth believes opposition sides are deliberately targeting Will Magnay physically after the 208cm centre copped a painful hit to the sternum in the JackJumpers' heated 94-86 victory over Cairns.
Magnay, the league's leading shot-blocker and sixth-highest rebounder, struggled to breathe and staggered to the bench gingerly after being collected flush in the chest by Taipans captain Tahjere McCall, deep into the fourth quarter at the Cairns Convention Centre on Thursday night.
