Norman Powell’s injury during the game between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Detroit Pistons brought back memories of a previous incident involving LeBron James. Powell was hurt after receiving an elbow to his face, resulting in a significant amount of blood on the court. This unexpected turn of events shocked basketball fans.
With only five minutes remaining in the game, Powell and the Pistons’ player, Duren, jumped for a rebound. Unfortunately, Duren’s attempt to tap the ball in failed, and his elbow accidentally struck Powell in the face. Powell immediately clutched his right eye and fell to the ground, causing blood to spill onto the floor. The severity of the cut was evident from the amount of blood. Powell was assisted by the team’s medical staff to the medical room.
Powell has been a key contributor to the Clippers this season, providing valuable energy and production off the bench. Losing him to this injury will undoubtedly hinder their performance. However, despite the Pistons leading the game after three quarters, the Clippers managed to rally in the fourth quarter and secure a 112-106 victory, placing them at the top of the Western Conference.
Powell’s injury caught everyone by surprise, reminding fans of a similar incident involving the Pistons’ Isaiah Stewart in the past. In Stewart’s case, the blood remained confined to his face and towels, whereas Powell’s injury left a shocking amount of blood on the court.
As soon as the incident was broadcasted on national television, fans expressed their shock and emotions on social media. Here are some of their reactions:
– “Did the guy get stabbed on the court???”
– “Detroit seems to be the common denominator in the bloodiest moments in the NBA.”
– “Hope Norman Powell is okay… that was very bloody.”
– “That was an unlucky shot, wow.”
– “Did he get elbowed or shot?!”
– “Who is the guy with the excessively forceful elbows?”
– “Prayers up for Norman Powell. Look at all that blood.”
Fortunately, Norman Powell is expected to recover from this injury soon. Although the amount of blood may have made it appear as a severe injury, thankfully it was not as serious.
