Travers Ready For "Weird" Day

By his own admission, Friday, October 13, will be a “weird” day for Luke Travers.

It won’t be the first time he steps foot on the RAC Arena court. In fact, that’s something he has already done 52 times.

However, it will be the first time he does it not wearing the famed Perth Wildcats red.

Travers has already received blunt online feedback from the Red Army about his move to Melbourne United – one of their arch rivals – but the 21-year-old knows the first game back in Perth looms as an experience like no other.

“It hasn’t been too bad, most are wishing me the best, but you also get some of them who are disappointed in you and calling you a snake,” Travers said via Newscorp.

“It will be a weird experience, but a cool one, for sure.

“Being on the good side with them for a long time — hopefully still somewhat on the good side — but yeah, it will be super cool.”

Travers and United visit the Wildcats on October 13 at 9:30pm AEDT.
