South Carolina Upstate guard Brit Harris was taken to a local hospital after a scary fall in his team’s 73-53 loss at South Carolina on Saturday.
Late in the game, Harris dunked on a fast break. The junior hung onto the rim for an extra second or two but then fell on his head after letting go. He appeared to hit both his head and neck in the fall.
His teammates immediately called for medical assistance. Harris, who played 10 minutes in the matchup, was then placed on a stretcher after medical personnel assessed him. The crowd applauded when he moved his arms as he exited the floor.
Ryan Clary, the play-by-play voice for South Carolina-Upstate, posted on social media that Harris was “moving and communicating” after the fall.
A school official told ESPN that no additional information was available.
