According to The New York Post, on Monday, medics attended to a collapsed fan. The Memphis Grizzlies were to play against the San Antonio Spurs. Right before tipoff, the emergency happened, disrupting the game.
Both of the teams were sent back to their locker rooms as the medics got to work. This delayed the game, and when it did begin, the players were in an altered headspace.
Sports agent Mike Miller was sitting near the fan when he called for authorities. Apparently, he noticed something was wrong.
"It was awful, he was sitting talking to people, then the national anthem happened, and he didn't get up," Miller said. It is unknown why the man collapsed, or how he's doing now. Reportedly, the man was rushed off in a stretcher after 7 minutes.
The game was delayed for 45 minutes due to the medical emergency. The incident upset the players, who gathered around each other in prayer. The Grizzlies would win the game 128-109, although all the players felt off-put by the event.
