You could fit an octagon on a hardwood court right?

That’s all that was running through our minds as Klay Thompson got knocked out by a knee from Trevor Ariza in game five of their play-off series with Houston earlier this week.

The incident was entirely accidental but the injury has ruled him out for the start of the finals with Cleveland, and might see him miss the entire series which starts next Thursday.

The ear was lacerated badly at the time, but Thompson was cleared to continue playing but will now be under NBA concussion protocols
