NBA player Nerlens Noel had to be stretchered off the court after getting knocked out in a sickening fall during a game on Tuesday night.
Noel, who plays for Oklahoma City Thunder, was attempting to block a dunk from the Minnesota Timberwolves' Andrew Wiggins when he took an elbow to the face.
The impact seemed to knock him unconscious because moments later he fell to the court and made no attempt to brace himself, smacking his head against the wood.

Noel was left sprawled on the floor with his eyes closed after the sickening fall, as coaches and teammates rushed to be around him
Noel, who stands 6ft 11ins tall, could be seen rolling gently on the floor as the crowd at the Chesapeake Energy Arena was shocked into silence.
Coaches and players quickly gathered around the 24-year-old, whose eyes remained closed, while a stretcher was brought out to him.
He was then taken to the Oklahoma University medical center where he was kept under evaluation overnight.
Coach Billy Donovan was unable to give an update on Noel's condition following the game, with more news expected on Wednesday.
The incident sparked an angry reaction from the Thunder's Dennis Schroder, who spotted the Wolves bench laughing in the aftermath and assumed they were mocking Noel.

Noel joined Oklahoma City Thunder in July last year and has played in the NBA since 2013 when he was drafted by the New Orleans Pelicans
He challenged the players, who insisted they weren't laughing at the injured player, before Schroder renewed the row with Jeff Teague as the game got back underway.
Teague lost his cool and pushed Schroder, which saw him ejected from the court and Schroder issued with a technical foul.
Steven Adams, who also plays for the Thunder, told ESPN after the game that Noel's injury was 'unfortunate' but that it was just 'one of those s****y plays'.
Noel joined the NBA in 2013 as sixth pick of the draft, going to the New Orleans Pelicans before being traded to the Philadelphia 76ers.
He also spent a year with the Dallas Mavericks before joining the Thunder in July 2018 on a two-year contract.
His mot notable performance for his new outfit came on December 31 when he scored 15 points in 15 minutes to help Thunder to a 122-102 win over his old team.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
