Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris suffered a left eye laceration and was evaluated for a concussion, the team announced Sunday.
The injury occurred late in the third quarter when Harris attempted to contest a shot by Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum and had his legs knocked out from under him as they collided. He then took a heavy fall to the floor, slamming his head.
Harris eventually was able to rise and walk off the court under his own power, though he had to hold a towel to his head to control bleeding. He immediately went back to the locker room, but later returned to check into the game.
Before the incident, Harris had 16 points on 5–9 shooting in 31 minutes.
