Boston Celtics star Kemba Walker was taken off the court on a stretcher in the second quarter of Friday’s game against the Nuggets after colliding with teammate Semi Ojeleye and falling to the floor. Walker was chasing the ball and had his head down, and ran directly into the torso of Ojeleye, hitting his teammate with the top of his head. Walker collapsed to the floor and was eventually strapped to a backboard.
ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that it is believed that Walker did not suffer a serious injury. The Celtics labeled the injury “concussion-like symptoms.”
NBA players and fans alike wished Walker well on social media as soon as he went down.
