Milwaukee Bucks forward Carlos Delfino was taken off the court on a stretcher late in the second period of tonight’s game with Miami after having his head and neck inadvertently stepped on, resulting in neck and jaw pain. He underwent examination by Bucks orthopaedic physician Dr. Michael Gordon and had full movement in all extremities.
Delfino fell to the ground after missing a layup and Miami's Udonis Haslem, going after the rebound, inadvertently stepped on the lower part of Delfino's neck. The 27-year-old was taken by ambulance to St. Luke’s Hospital in Milwaukee for precautionary x-rays.
