  I didn’t see what happened to Collette when he went down. Didn’t see whatever contact. And somehow I missed the ONE replay they showed. So I never saw what or how he got hit in the head.

  I think when he fell his head hit the court.

  He took an inadvertent elbow in the head and that’s when he went down

    It was more like body contact to the head when he was down low getting the ball. They had to go through a bunch of camera angles before they finally found a clear view. Announcer called it “hip to the head”.

  When I watched the reply in the JMHC it looked like he kind of got whiplashed with some contact as he put up the shot. That knocked him backwards and he whacked his head on the floor as he went down. He instantly grabbed his head. Not good for a guy with a concussion history.

    Oh wow I see now. From my seats I couldn’t see any of that. Looks like he tweaked his neck AND probably hit his forehead on that dude’s hip bone.

    Man, brain injuries suck. I hope he doesn’t miss any time. Concussions suck. What looks like a slight impact can do so much damage. I hope he doesn’t have to hang the shoes up.

      Regardless of what happened, it is possible that was Collette’s last competitive basketball game, given his history of concussions and significant headbangs. They seem to be more frequent. That would concern me if I were in his place. I prefer a normal headache free life rather than risk what for repetitive head trauma that is associated with significant long term risk.

        That is what worries me as well.
