Oklahoma basketball player Bismack Biyombo collapsed near the bench during an NBA match against Portland, the league’s press service reports.
It is unclear whether Biyombo was injured. He lost consciousness while the team was near the bench during a timeout.
During the long delay, a wheelchair was brought to the site, but it was never used. Biyombo, with assistance, was able to get to his feet and was sent to the locker room.
Biyombo, a 13-year NBA veteran, was playing in just his fifth game with the Thunder since signing with the team on Feb. 10. Previously, the 31-year-old center was released from Memphis.
