LeBron James suffered a bloody gash on his head after colliding with a cameraman late in the second quarter today in Game 4 of the NBA Finals between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors.
With 4:43 left in the second quarter of Cleveland's 103-82 loss, the Cavaliers star drove to the basket and was fouled by Warriors center Andrew Bogut.
James hit the deck, and his head collided with the camera of Peter Winik of NBA Entertainment. James lay on the court for a few minutes as teammates and Cavaliers staffers surrounded him.
He placed a towel on the back of his head, behind his right ear. He later returned to shoot two free throws. The injury didn't have an impact on his playing time, and he finished with 20 points on 7-for-22 shooting, 12 rebounds and eight assists in 41 minutes.
