What started out as a normal 3rd quarter play with Kevin Durant swinging the ball to Jordan Bell, who hit the open Patrick McCaw cutting down the baseline — ended in pure tragedy.

McCaw inadvertently collided with Vince Carter, which threw off McCaw's landing — leading to an awkward and dangerous fall. Carter was visibly upset with the situation. And McCaw was stretched off the court.

The currently injured Steph Curry immediately took to twitter to put out his best wishes for McCaw.
