A scary scene unfolded on Thursday night when LeBron James dove into the seats for a loose ball and landed on top of a woman sitting in the front row.
The incident came late in the fourth quarter, and as James dove into the stands, he collided with Ellie Day, the wife of professional golfer Jason Day, and then appeared to land on top of her.
Day was conscious and talking, but was put in a neck brace and taken out of the arena on a stretcher.
Shortly after she was taken out, Day left the arena also.
[UPDATE] According to ESPN, Day was taken to a local hospital and released on Friday morning and said to be OK."
After the game, James said that after the collision, he checked on her and she squeezed his hand.
"It wasn't anything out of the usual besides the injury," James told the media. "But to me, obviously her health is very important, and hopefully she's doing well. The guys told us she's doing great now. So, but you know, I was going for a loose ball. Just trying to keep the possession going, and I hate that that was the end result of it."
After the game, James sent out a tweet about the incident.
Ellie Day I hope you're doing okay! My apologies! Hope u guys come back to another game soon. Love LJ!
