Overview

  • Wright was struck during a second-quarter steal attempt at Target Center, briefly lost consciousness, bled from the head, and was helped to the locker room.
  • Officials assessed a common foul on Clark, who later left the game with neck spasms.
  • The Pacers quickly ruled Wright out for the remainder with a head injury, and no official diagnosis has been announced.
  • Concussion expert Chris Nowinski highlighted the double-impact mechanism seen on video as particularly concerning for traumatic brain injury.
  • Wright had two points in four minutes before exiting; Indiana won 135-134 in overtime as the 33-year-old continues a training camp bid for a roster spot.
