Gary Harris went strong to the rack and was hit hard midway through the fourth quarter of Friday night’s game between the Denver Nuggets and Oklahoma City Thunder. The result was a painful fall for the veteran guard, who lay on the ground for some time before finally getting back up and remaining in the game.

Here’s a look at the collision that caused Harris’ tumble.

The way Harris’ hip hit the court, and then the way he reacted afterward, led us to fear for the worst. Thankfully, he appeared to suffer no major injury, although that fall will probably be something he feels for a few days.
