The first ACB League finals game left a scary moment. A few minutes before halftime, Anthony Randolph fell down in a defensive situation with Nikola Mirotic. He made a foul, but it did not matter.

It seemed serious since the American power-forward put his hand on his knee and looked away to the doctors on the bench.

Four people needed to wake him up. Mirotic quickly saw that something was going on.

Randolph left the court injured after spraining his knee. Fans at Palau Blaugrana gave him an ovation as a gesture of support.

After the Achilles Tendon injury from last season, which sidelined him for almost a year, Randolph has suffered another big injury again.

"It hurts a lot," admitted Real Madrid coach Chus Mateo. "It looks ugly, to be honest. He is an extraordinary guy, with a big heart and really professional. This is the worst part of the sport."

An official statement about Randolph's injury is expected to be issued soon.
