VIDEO: Celtics Star Kemba Walker Gets Stretchered off Court After Colliding With Semi Ojeleye
By Karl Rasmussen
Some scary scenes in Denver. Boston Celtics star guard Kemba Walker went down with a freak injury after colliding with teammate Semi Ojeleye. Walker ran into Ojeleye while trying to contest the ball, and while play briefly continued at the opposite end of the court in transition, Walker remained on the ground.

Walker appeared to have suffered a neck injury when colliding with Ojeleye, and a potentially serious one at that.
The 29-year-old stayed on the floor for a long time while being examined by the Celtics medical staff.
The stretcher was eventually brought out to escort the injured star from the court.

Walker lost his footing after trying to make a defensive stop on a pass from Jamal Murray, which caused him to fall head first into Ojeleye's body. The trainers were seen carrying a neck brace onto the court.
We're praying for Walker right now and hoping the point guard comes out of this okay.
