Utah Jazz guard Trey Alexander is taken off the court on a stretcher during an NBA Summer League game against the Chicago Bulls in Las Vegas on Monday night. Reports say Alexander, who recently signed a two-way deal with Utah, sustains the injury while driving to the basket. He makes contact with Bulls player Caleb Wilson and, after tossing the ball toward the hoop, goes behind the basket clutching his side or abdomen. He then drops to the floor and appears to be in significant pain.
Accounts from multiple outlets describe Alexander being transported from the Thomas & Mack Center court on a stretcher. At the time of the incident, the exact nature of the injury is not clearly established in the initial reporting, with some coverage noting that the type of injury was unclear immediately after he left the court.
The reports do not include details on the prognosis or diagnosis, focusing instead on the sequence of events during the game and the fact that Alexander is removed from play for medical evaluation.
