I doubt I would have wanted to stay on the bench with blood flying everywhere if I was Kyrie . The noise , lights , , all add to the stress of something like that happening . Your face has just been bashed in , bone fractured , why would you want to stay and suffer in public in a loud stressful enviroment . Thats not helping anything .
for a regular season game ......no way . ...best get home and start the recovery . Get some meds and try and dettle down . He took a awsome whack .
Playoffs i know people play with horrific injuries . This was not a life or death game .
what if somebody accidentally bumps you again . No way .....the safe bet is to protect the i jury , go home , get out of the crowds and harms way.
