You hope he's ok, but man a hit like that could potentially alter his career.

Brothers is an oxygen thief. He needs to be fired.

I hope Lively is okay; he's having a terrible night. I hope he isn't back in the game the rest of the night; he needs to get proper evaluation for a couple days.

Feel bad for the young blood lively

Knowing Jason Kidd he’s not letting that dude get on the court and hurt himself more

Knee to the back of the head reminds me of that boxer who got serious brain damage from beng hit in the back of the head too many times.

Lesson: Dont **** with the back of your head.

Lively is clearly concussed. He needs to be out for 7 days. I know he's young, but don't take any risk with the brain.

That one wasn't due to being clumsy, KAT was just moving as normal for an offensive rebound, Lively just fell at the wrong time, the wrong way into the wrong spot. Nothing on KAT there.

His career may be in jeopardy


It’s a concussion. He’ll be fine.

The only reason it would be an issue is if he’s had regular concussions.

We have concussions every game over here in our footy games.
