Golden State Warriors guard Patrick McCaw was taken off the court on a stretcher in the third quarter of Saturday night’s Warriors-Kings game in Sacramento, after he was undercut by Vince Carter after a drive to the basket and took a hard fall on his back. McCaw rolled around on the court and was clearly in serious pain, while Carter was emotional and in shock at the moment.
Initially, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr was clearly angry at Carter; you could even hear him say, “God dammit! God dammit! I’m not mad at you, I’m mad at Vince. He knows better.”
But Kerr would later walk over and console Carter while McCaw was being placed on the stretcher.

Warriors star Kevin Durant also came over to talk to Carter:
Both teams gathered in prayer as McCaw was being stretchered off.
McCaw was taken to the hospital and the players wanted to visit him after the game, but he’s going through testing.
Update: More from the postgame.
