Bulls’ Crawford released from hospital

11.14.2003

Chicago, IL (Basketball News) - Chicago Bulls guard Jamal Crawford was fortunate to only suffer a neck sprain after falling awkwardly on his head during the fourth quarter of Thursday’s overtime loss to Minnesota.

Crawford was taken from the court on a stretcher and brought to Rush Presbyterian Hospital for precautionary reasons. He was later released after all tests were negative.

The 23-year-old Crawford was guarding Fred Hoiberg at the three-point line and went for Hoiberg’s head fake. Crawford ended up doing almost a full flip and landed on his head and neck.

Crawford had just five points and five fouls before suffering the injury.

The 6-foot-5 Crawford is averaging 13.3 points and 4.6 assists in 10 games this season.
