The Minnesota Timberwolves drafted Jaylen Clark in the second round of the 2023 NBA draft after he suffered a torn Achilles at UCLA. Clark sat out the '23–24 season and didn't make his NBA debut until January 2025. On Sunday he started his second career game and was showing great promise for a Timberwolves team that has been dealing with a number of injuries this season.
Then midway through the third quarter Clark suffered a scary fall. After Clark stole the ball he challenged Isaiah Hartenstein at the rim and fell down, hitting the back of his head on the court. Clark remained on the ground grabbing his head as play continued and Anthony Edwards hit a three.
