Stephen A. Smith Injured in NBA All-Star Celebrity Game Practice
In the NBA All-Star Game, Stephen A. Smith was enlisted on the injury roster, shifting our discussion towards an ironic twist.
Known for his critiques of the Dallas Cowboys and often labeling them as "an accident waiting to," Smith found himself in an unfortunate situation instigated by one of the team's prime players.
His co-host on "First Take," Molly Qerim, shed light on the fact that Smith was hospitalized consequent to an encounter with the Cowboys' noteworthy athlete, Micah Parsons, also participating in the Celebrity Game.
Qerim narrated the episode, "Only yesterday, Stephen's obligations led him to arrive early in Naptown. There, during a practice session, he commenced a playful game with none other than Micah Parsons, his teammate.
Micah played a little rough and the next thing we knew, Stephen was sent to the hospital for X-rays."
Despite his injury, Smith maintained his professional commitment and appeared on First Take, sporting an ankle brace. He unfolded his side of the story, “On the basketball court, Micah Parsons acted like he was attempting to tackle quarterbacks.
In the process of shooting baskets against one another, I slipped on sweat on the court and ended up hurting myself."
Smith initially considered the fall trivial, it wasn't until the following Thursday when he felt an intense burning sensation in his ankle. The discomfort prompted him to seek medical attention at the hospital.
However, with a stroke of luck, Smith will still have the opportunity to fulfill his role as a coach in the game against his co-host, the three-time Super Bowl champion, and the esteemed member of the NFL Hall of Fame, Shannon Sharpe.
