Charlotte Hornets, NBA players among those wishing Kemba Walker well after injury

Share

On Friday night, the Boston Celtics saw their best player go down with a scary-looking injury.

In the C's game against the Denver Nuggets, point guard Kemba Walker ended up colliding with Semi Ojeleye while chasing a loose ball. Walker went down on the play and stayed down for a long time.

Here's a look at the play via the Celtics on NBC Sports Boston Twitter account.

Walker was ultimately stretchered off and the Celtics later confirmed that he was being transported to a local hospital with concussion-like symptoms.

After Walker's injury, several athletes and Walker's former team, the Charlotte Hornets, offered their thoughts and prayers to him. Here's a look at some of the messages that came in for him.
