Video: Nolan Smith gets taken off in a stretcher due to foul by Zoran Drajic

Nolan Smith of the Portland Trail Blazers had to be taken to the hospital tonight by stretcher after he was fouled on a fast break by the Rockets' Zoran Drajic during a NBA Summer League game on Tuesday night.

Smith lost his balance a few seconds after the hit to the head by Drajic and fell down on the baseline.

The video of what happened is below as well as a second video of a brief argument between Royce White of the Rockets and Ekene Ibekwe of the Blazers. Coolers heads prevailed though and both teams headed off to their locker rooms.

UPDATE: Smith suffered a concussion and was released from the hospital the very same night.
