Kings-Bobcats PBP for Feb. 22

[VF21]

They show Moore on the sidelines with Theus. Moore really looked concerned and Theus walks over to see what's happening.

One of the Bobcat suit guys - not sure which one - is talking to Gerald, who is STILL on the court. Grant says several Kings are at the monitor, looking at the replay.

Grant says, "He has not moved since the incident." LOTS of suits on the court right now, surrounding Wallace. Grant says Gerald is now moving a little bit...

And they go to another commercial.

I pray everything is okay for Gerald.

 

[VF21]

They've brough a gurney out onto the court. Wallace still hasn't moved. Jerry thinks he might have been knocked unconscious. Moore is right there, very concerned and watching, as they load Wallace onto a stretcher. They are being extremely careful in handling him. This is one of the most frightening things I've ever seen...

 

[VF21]

They have him strapped to the back board. Moore is back on the Kings sidelines, pacing and looking up to watch the monitor.

They're reshowing the whole thing. Wallace DID move after the collison but he's sure not moving now. The crowd is giving him an ovation, of course, but it's clear they're really concerned...as am I. Grant says he saw one of the paramedics leaning over to listen to what Gerald Wallace was saying, which would be a good sign.

They're showing the gurney going down the tunnel and straight to the waiting ambulance.

Hard to get back to being excited about the game after something like that.
