North Carolina guard Brit Harris was taken to a hospital after a scary fall in his team's 73-53 loss at South Carolina on Saturday.
The school announced on social media Saturday night that Harris was released and is “back in Spartanburg and on the road to recovery.”
Harris was injured after dunking on a fast break late in Saturday's game. The young man held on to the hoop for another second or two, but then fell on his head after letting go. He apparently hit his head and neck in the fall.
His companions immediately called for medical assistance. Harris, who played 10 minutes in the matchup, was placed on a stretcher after being evaluated by medical staff. The crowd applauded when he waved his arms as he walked off the floor.
Ryan Clary, the play-by-play voice of Upstate South Carolina, posted on social media that Harris was “moving and communicating” after the fall.
