Bobcats rookie F Michael Kidd-Gilchrist was taken off the floor vs. Houston on a stretcher after he suffered a head injury when teammate Jeff Taylor's knee collided with his head. The play occurred in the third quarter on a fast break. Toney Douglas pushed off in mid-air on Kidd-Gilchrist, pushing his head back just as Henderson's knee came in.

Kidd-Gilchrist collapsed to the floor and lay motionless for several minutes without moving or opening his eyes. Eventually he was taken off the floor by paramedics to a local hospital. He did not open his eyes or signal to the crowd with his hands while exiting the court.

Gilly is one of my favorite UK players of all time. He plays the game the way it's suppose to be played. It sounds like he does have movements in all extremities & everything was done for precaution. His Mom just tweeted he was going to be okay. It was scary to watch though.
