"I think it was 4:30 or 4:32 to go in the first quarter, there was a play where Isaiah Jackson gets elbowed by Queta and then simultaneously gets elbowed a second time. Then he has to go out of the game for concussion observation and then was unable to return. I hope the league looks at that. That was a play that I felt should have been looked at in real time. It did not appear to be accidental and it's very dangerous."
"I don't know what the exact rule is,"
"I don't know how long he's going to be out, but it's pretty serious,"
"The play that happened, it just can't be missed,"
The Indiana Pacers lost to the Boston Celtics 103-95. At about 4:30 remaining in the first quarter, Celtics center Neemias Queta elbowed forward Isaiah Jackson twice, after which Jackson left the game for concussion observation and did not return. Jackson had been averaging 7.6 points and 6.1 rebounds in 18.8 minutes across 28 games this season but played only two minutes in this game. The double elbow appeared non-accidental and dangerous. A request was made for the league to review the play in real time due to player-safety concerns.
