LeBron James injures shoulder, head in win
LeBron James - F - Miami Heat
March 21, 2012 - 8:20 AM ET
LeBron James took a hard fall on his right elbow Tuesday night, and then hit his head on Grant Hill's shoulder in a violent fourth-quarter collision in the win over Phoenix, but stayed on the court until the game's end.
LeBron finished with 20 points, eight rebounds, six assists, two steals and two blocks, but many of his shots came up short after he hurt his elbow early in the game. The shot to his head is of equal concern and while he stayed in the game despite both injuries, owners will want to keep an eye on reports out of Miami on Wednesday. The Heat are off until Friday against the Pistons, so LeBron should be able to heal in the two days off, as long as he didn't suffer a minor concussion on the collision with Hill.
