Having bagged two wins, the Los Angeles Lakers have just about kept their playoff hopes alive this season. With this in mind, the Lakers walked into rivals week hoping to capitalize on their winning momentum against the Los Angeles Clippers. As fans grew excited to watch this match-up, they also hoped for LeBron James to put on a show. In true ‘King James’ style, he put up 31 points by the end of the third quarter. However, one moment in the game left Laker Nation and the entire organization worried.?

During the third quarter of the game, the Lakers were trailing by 14 points and James was focused on leading the way on both ends of the court. In one play, Clippers star Kawhi Leonard was in possession of the ball and the four-time NBA champion rushed to claim a turnover. He was successful with the steal, but the ball inched toward going out of bounds.

While he aimed to stop the ball, the four-time Finals MVP tumbled into the stands and fell on his back. The arena gasped and the broadcasters voiced their worries as James continued to lay on his back for a few seconds. However, moments later, the 18-time All-Star jumped up on his feet and made his way back to the court, seemingly unhurt. The arena erupted in applause and the game soon continued.?
