VIDEO: Wolves’ Jaylen Clark Heads To Locker Room After Hitting His Head On The Floor In A Gruesome Way, And It Doesn’t Look Good
Minnesota Timberwolves rookie Jaylen Clark was making the most of his second career start on Sunday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Despite the Timberwolves falling 123-130, Clark’s early performance had been a bright spot until a hard fall raised concerns about his health.
The incident occurred midway through the third quarter, with the Timberwolves leading 82-78. Clark stole the ball from the Thunder’s Jalen Williams and was sprinting downcourt for a fast break opportunity. As he went for the layup, he collided with Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein.
The impact caused Clark to stumble awkwardly and land hard on the back of his head. The arena went silent as Clark lay motionless for a moment before managing to get up. He was immediately taken to the locker room for evaluation and later ruled out for the remainder of the game due to neck pain.
The Timberwolves have yet to release an official update on the severity of the injury. Yet, there is speculation that Clark may have suffered a concussion. His exit was a major blow to the team, especially considering the energy and defensive presence he brought before the injury.
In just 17 minutes on the court, Clark tallied 14 points on an efficient 6-for-7 shooting, including two perfect shots from beyond the arc. He also contributed four steals and a rebound.
