The Sydney Swans<\/a> midfielder Taylor Adams was taken to hospital after being knocked unconscious in an incident outside a popular club on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

The 32-year-old Adams was allegedly assaulted after an argument with two men at a venue in Sydney\u2019s eastern suburbs, New South Wales<\/a> police said.<\/p>\n

Police were called to a licensed venue on Vickery Avenue in the harbourside suburb of Rose Bay just after 10pm after the incident.<\/p>\n

Adams had lost consciousness briefly and sustained a small cut to his cheek after allegedly being knocked to the ground by one man.<\/p>\n

He was attended to by NSW paramedics and taken to St Vincent\u2019s hospital for further treatment and assessment.<\/p>\n

Both men had left the scene before police arrived.<\/p>\n

Police were told the men were not known to Adams.<\/p>\n

The Swans said Adams was discharged from hospital at 7am on Sunday morning and will be monitored on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Sydney<\/a> Swans does not tolerate violence in any form and is working with Adams and NSW police to identify the offender,\u201d the AFL club said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The incident reportedly happened outside Club Rose Bay, which is owned by Justin Hemmes\u2019s Merivale Group and was recently reopened after being refurbished.<\/p>\n

Adams, a veteran midfielder, has spent his pre-season training in rehabilitation after suffering a partial tear of his achilles tendon in December.<\/p>\n

The one-time All-Australian was limited to just four appearances last season in his second season at the Swans after recurring hamstring injuries.<\/p>\n

Adams had made the move from Collingwood at the end of 2023, missing out on a spot in the 2024 grand final against Brisbane under then coach John Longmire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Sydney Swans midfielder Taylor Adams was taken to hospital after being knocked unconscious in an incident outside…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":436206,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[560],"tags":[638,64,63,55,639,85],"class_list":["post-436205","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-afl","tag-afl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-australian-football-league","tag-australianfootballleague","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/436205","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=436205"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/436205\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/436206"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=436205"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=436205"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=436205"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
