Missouri Guard Caleb Grill Discharged After Scary Neck Injury

The Tigers' leading scorer was stretchered off the court during a game against Lindenwood but has avoided serious spinal injury, according to the team.

Caleb Grill, Missouri's leading scorer, suffered a head and neck injury during a rebound attempt in the first half of Wednesday's game against Lindenwood.
He was stretchered off the court and taken to a local hospital as a precaution but was responsive and gave a thumbs-up to the crowd.
Medical tests confirmed no spinal cord injury, and Grill was discharged from the hospital later that evening; his return timeline remains uncertain.
The injury occurred when Lindenwood's Jaylon McDaniel made contact with Grill, causing his head to snap back; McDaniel was assessed a flagrant foul.
Missouri won the game 81-61, improving to 6-1 on the season, with Grill contributing two points in seven minutes before his exit.
