Boston– Indiana Pacers Coach Rick Carlisle wants the league to consider a play in the first quarter where he says boston celtics Center neemias quetta hit with elbow isaiah jackson Twice, the forward was taken out of the game because he was evaluated for an injury.
“I don’t know what the exact rule is,” Carlisle said after Indiana’s loss to Boston. 103-95 Monday night. “I think there was 4:30 or 4:32 to go in the first quarter, there was a play where Isaiah Jackson gets elbowed by Quetta and then gets elbowed a second time at the same time. Then he has to go out of the game for concussion observation and then is unable to return.
“I hope the league looks into this. I thought this was a play that should have been watched in real time. This doesn’t seem random, and it’s very dangerous.”
Jackson came off the bench in Monday’s game averaging 7.6 points and 6.1 rebounds in 18.8 minutes in 28 games this season. He played only two minutes.
“I don’t know how long he’ll be out, but it’s pretty serious,” Carlisle said.
“The drama that happened cannot be ignored.”
