I got rushed to the ER and lost a lot of blood. I passed out. ... That's how much I lost. The doctor looked at me in my eye and told me, 'I don't know how you still have use of your right hand. You should honestly be thanking God every day.'
Lakers guard Marcus Smart has been fined $35,000 for making an obscene gesture toward a game official during halftime of the game Thursday against the Utah Jazz, the NBA announced Saturday. Smart was assessed a technical foul for his action as walked off the court for intermission after exchanging words with an official. The Lakers pulled out a 143-135 victory in Salt Lake City
"I couldn't believe it," Smart said. "I mean, I think when I released the ball, they said I stepped over [the line]. I'm like, we see the play all the time when a guy gets the ball out quick and his leg is [hovering past the line] and he still inbounds it and he throws the ball in and there is no call."
