"Before any official made a ruling, the broadcast showed one of them hunched over in pain. The ref, Sha'Rae Mitchell, appeared to angrily gesture toward the sideline while holding her head. She was assisted by another ref, who blew his whistle to signal for a timeout on the floor."
"A replay of the incident revealed that Mitchell was attempting to run down the sideline after McCollum's score. As soon as she turned around, however, she ran directly into a camera operator. Mitchell's frustration appeared to stem from the fact that the camera operator was likely out of place."
"Mitchell then sat by the scorer's table with her head in her hands as she continued to deal with the pain. She was ultimately able to return and finish the game."
During the fourth quarter of a Brooklyn Nets versus Atlanta Hawks game, referee Sha'Rae Mitchell collided with a camera operator on the sideline while running down the court after a CJ McCollum three-pointer. Mitchell appeared to be frustrated by the camera operator's positioning, holding her head in pain and gesturing angrily toward the sideline. Another referee called a timeout to allow Mitchell time to recover. She sat by the scorer's table dealing with the injury but ultimately remained in the game and completed her officiating duties for the remainder of the contest.
