It wasn’t immediately clear if Biyombo was injured. He fell as the team went to the sideline in a timeout. During a lengthy delay, a wheelchair was brought on to the court but it was never used. Biyombo was helped off and headed for the locker room.

Biyombo, a 13-year NBA veteran, was playing just his fifth game with the Thunder after signing with the team on February 10. Thunder sideline reporter Nick Gallo later reported that Biyombo was cleared of any serious medical issues, although he missed the rest of the game for monitoring and further evaluation on Thursday.

The OKC eventually beat Portland 128-120 and are currently leading the Western Conference standings with a 43-19 record.
