Unfortunately, a scary moment happened during the first half of Wednesday night's game. Guard Caleb Grill went down with an injury and was on the floor for quite a bit. He was taken off the court on a stretcher, but gave the crowd a thumbs up on the way out.
A team spokesperson told ABC 17 that Grill is dealing with a 'head and neck injury,' but is responsive. The team took him to the hospital as a precautionary measure.
