Video: Carmelo Anthony Collapses on the Court, Play Goes On Around Him

Filed under: Nuggets, NBA Referees, NBA Videos, Thunder

A strange, scary play took place in the third quarter of the Nuggets' close win over the Thunder on Wednesday. Carmelo Anthony drove into the lane and made contact with Kevin Durant, and Anthony's head appeared to get pushed down into his neck, causing him to collapse to the floor.



The referees ruled the play as a traveling violation against Anthony, and Carmelo lied flat on his back as the ball was awarded to the Thunder. Apparently the officials thought that the reason for Anthony lying there was that he was okay, but perhaps frustrated with the call. That clearly wasn't the case, though, because when Denver got the ball back on the following possession, Anthony was still on the floor, and stayed motionless as the play was allowed to continue at full speed all around him.



Video of the bizarre incident can be seen below.
