The Lakers vs Nets drew a lot of attention despite the fact having many big players out of the team due to covid protocols and injuries. A rather unfortunate incident happened with Talen Horton-Tucker as he got hit right in the nuts by James Harden while he was attempting a step-back jump.
What exactly happened during the game?
James Harden was facing Tucker at the top and was completely isolated by him, In order to get an opening to take a shot he used his old trick of lowering his shoulder to trick Tucker but he got up which lead to him having some really bad consequences.
After a review made by the referees, Harden was given a flagrant one and Horton-Tucker was given some free shots. He was fine and continued to play for the team afterward.
