Kiwi NBA star Steven Adams has been hailed on social media as one of the toughest players in the league after returning to the court minutes after a scary collision.
The Oklahoma City Thunder centre came crashing down on Los Angeles Lakers centre JaVale McGee in an awkward-looking fall, before his leg appeared to get caught underneath him.
Adams was subbed out and headed to the locker room with a light limp, panicking fans.
