Mike Tobey Injured Himself On The Tip-Off After Landing On Ref During EuroBasket Game Against Germany
I have never seen this at a professional basketball game, this definitely is a first for me.
During tip-off of yesterday’s Eurobasket game between Germany and Slovenia, Slovenian 7-footer Mike Tobey, injured himself and sprained his ankle after landing on the referee’s foot during the jump ball.

After a brief visit to the locker room to get re-taped, Tobey eventually returned to the game.
