Australian NBA star Andrew Bogut has applied for an apprehended violence order against his neighbour Michaela Newby following a neighbourhood dispute.

NBA star Andrew Bogut, 41, and Sydney Kings co-owner, has applied for an apprehended violence order against his neighbour Michaela Newby following a neighbourhood dispute. The application relates to an alleged incident involving the stabbing of a basketball. Ms Newby failed to appear at court at Newtown on Wednesday, and the matter was held over until 18 November.

According to previous reporting from The Sunday Telegraph, neighbours said Bogut and his family would play basketball games that 'usually last for one to two hours' and had become 'a source of frustration for months'. NSW Police have attended both properties, though no charges have been laid. Inner West Council does not regulate noise restrictions in the area.

Bogut is regarded as Australia's greatest basketballer. He won an NBA title with the Golden State Warriors in 2015 and represented Australia at three Olympic Games.
