During a Dallas Mavericks offensive possession late in the third quarter against the L.A. Clippers, head coach Doc Rivers slipped and fell to the ground. He was arguing with an official and karma gave him a tumble.

Thankfully Rivers got up on his own power and seemed unharmed. However, its always concerning to see anyone, especially older men and women, take any kind of fall.

After the game Doc Rivers spoke to reporters and mentioned he was worried that he might have torn a ligament on the fall ā€” thankfully it seems Rivers is fine for now.
