Nuggets forward Torrey Craig had to be helped to the locker room after taking a shot to the face in Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals on Wednesday.
Craig was left bloody on the floor after he appeared to catch an elbow from Zach Collins on a loose ball rebound.
He also appeared to hit his face onteammate Monte Morris' leg, so that also might have been when he suffered the injury.
Either way, he was in obvious pain and had to be helped to the locker room.
The Nuggets announced Scott is questionable to return with a "nasal contusion." He eventually returned to the 97-90 Nuggets loss wearing a plastic face guard to protect his nose.
All love for Torrey Craig (broken nose) as he checks back in! 💪🙏#MileHighBasketball#NBAPlayoffs pic.twitter.com/O7x0qH5nd2
