AJ Dybantsa bloodied after collision during Wizards-Pistons game
No. 1 overall pick AJ Dybantsa was knocked to the court after colliding with Cade Cunningham and his mouth was bloodied.
On Thursday, November 12, Washington Wizards rookie AJ Dybantsa collided with Detroit Pistons star Cade Cunningham during a game. With 26 seconds remaining in regulation and the Wizards leading 118-117, Cunningham was dribbling and attempted to turn directions. As Cunningham spun back around, his jaw hit Dybantsa's face, resulting in Dybantsa bleeding.
Surprisingly, Dybantsa remained in the game despite the injury. He lay on the court, grabbing his mouth as blood dripped from his injury. A trainer tended to Dybantsa, but he was able to get up and continue playing. The game extended into overtime, with the score tied at 121 at the end of the fourth quarter. Dybantsa's impact was significant, as he even sent the game to a second overtime.
The collision did not seem to have a lasting effect on Dybantsa, who continued playing without any apparent issues.
