[Highlight] Onyeka Okongwu returns to shoot the technicals with a bloody mouth and teeth after taking an elbow
That made me queasy his fuckin teeth are at the wrong angle
yeah JB gave him a muay thai elbow for no reason, that was insane, should have been a flagrant 2.
He might be a Hawk but that boy is a warrior.
He was on fantasy team last year and he was niiiice. For sure a warrior
idk the last time i remember someone getting this fucked up
Most recent I can remember was when Grant Williams got his head stepped on by Embiid…but that was kind of a wild accident. This was completely reckless by Jalen Brown.
Every action by embiid is reckless.
Sucks for Okongwu but accidental elbow, correctly called flagrant 1, shit happens.
Still reckless…not dirty, but reckless. You shouldn’t be swinging elbows above your head
He was also looking directly at OOs face while he delivered the elbow
Not as fucked up but Josh Hart hit his eye on Kornets elbow and his blood gushed out. Never seen that much blood in an nba game
Jaylen’s elbows seem like they would hurt extra bad
When bron hit isaiah stewart in the eye
His jaw is literally broken in half.. I’ve seen that shit happen to the bottom part of the jaw before in boxing but never the top. WTF
Very unlikely for his jaw to be entirely broken in half. It appears that just the teeth are displaced. He’s gonna need someone to push the teeth back into place and splinted.
You can definitely be right, I saw a still shot of an angle on IG it looked broken, but the way his mouth is hanging open idk
It’s not impossible, I didn’t see how hard he was hit. But I think he’ll be ok
LeBron elbowing Isiah Stewart was bloody
That’s 2 teeth bashed in, hope there’s an emergency dentist nearby
Derrick’s should be on standby ngl
Lmao this was the first thing I thought of, he should check in with Derrick for references once the final buzzer sounds. Brutal to have this happen on the first night of a B2B! If we’re missing him tomorrow night against the rockets we are cooked.
It’s Boston, couldn’t think of many better cities for it to happen in
I know NHL games always have an emergency dentist available. Maybe NBA games do too? Someone on the training staff might be able to do some basic shit until he sees a real dentist
Aren’t they able to save the teeth if they’re preserved in time?
If they aren’t broken, they tell you just to put them back in.
I haven’t watched the game, only this clip, so I don’t know if he’s still playing. Ideally the teeth are “reduced” back into position and a splint is created for him. The sooner the better.
He came out to shoot the FTs and didn’t come back. I guess he wanted to stay in the game and someone got a look at his mouth and the lead and said let’s go fix your face.
Gotcha. That means better prognosis for him, then.
This is a perfect example of why Celtics fans are the absolute WORST. They boo the fact that this was ruled a Flagrant 1 but were chanting “F the refs” when an absolute flop by Hugo was ruled a common foul. JB acted like a child in this moment & broke OO’s face because he played awful tonight. God i hate the Celtics
Wrong guy. Fans were saying refs you suck for the play on BAYLOR not Hugo.
Also how did Jaylen act like a child? It obviously wasn’t intentional. He apologized to OO too (which I know doesn’t fix anything but still)
Yea you right it was Baylor…but both his feet never left the ground. Definitely wasn’t a flagrant, refs got that call right
Have you ever been to a game live? Home crowds just see what happens in real time without the benefit of the immediate replay, and by the time the replay comes they’re not gonna be like “actually you got it right ref!”
I do that but maybe I’m built different
Boston has always been and will always be trash
PREACH!
The refs almost didn’t review this for a flagrant
(For the record I don’t think it was malicious at all from Jaylen Brown)
Yeah but you get an elbow up in the face it’s probably a flagrant. Gnarly work on Okongwu hope he’s ok always liked him
absolutely brutal
Bashed his face in and everyone was confused and upset about the foul
Jalen’s reaction to seeing OO face at the end is all of us lmao
Nash-esque.
Striking resemblance to be honest
What a beast
Hawks are a really good team. They’re starting to find their way after the trae young trade on this nice winning streak. I wouldn’t be surprised to see them make some noise in the playoffs.
I don’t know about really good, but they are showing flashes. I also think that getting stomped by the Celtics in the last matchup, they had this one circled and came out with everything they’ve got.
Why is he coming back to take those free throws like bro you are good to go you are NOT subbing back into this game
So he could get the points? I admit I did think there was an exception to the rule in which if the player is injured, coach could choose a replacement player to shoot the shots instead. But I suppose not?
Someone else can shoot but the player cannot return to the game if that happens
Imagine he missed both
Classy Celtics fans
Damn I saw some Hawks fans absolutely calling for Jaylen’s death. OO will be alright let DWhite hook him up with his dentist
Its a physical game it happens. JB pat him on the back when he was shooting freethrows. Which the fans were only booing the freethrows.
They are for real, honest to god claiming none of their fans in an arena of thousands would boo a free throw attempt in a similar situation. Things happen in a basketball game, it was called correctly in Okongwu’s favor, the replay shows it wasn’t intentional, JB apologized… not sure what more they want, other than a relevant franchise
…you want fans to not cheer when an opposing player misses a free throw? I’m sure the superior, civilized Atlanta crowd would be silent!
Correct.
Lol you’re absolutely delusional
man that sucks for OO
Jesus christ, that is brutal
Man, you see an elbow to the face quite often but damn Jaylen got him good there.
That’s brutal.
Jalen Johnson reaction at 1:00 hella funny
DWhite gotta hook him up with the local dentist
“and of course this crowd cheers” average Boston fans
They’re cheering the missed freethrow not the injury.
Why are yall being weird
Same reason this sub finds every reason to shit on the Lakers. A Hawks fan will look you dead in the eyes and call Luka a bum while also claiming Jalen Johnson should be a top 5 MVP candidate. I mean I’ll also call Luka a bum, but at least the Celtics also win shit.
Name one other crowd that would be dead silent on a missed opponent free throw attempt be so fucking serious
“And back to the dentist’s chair he goes” Bob is fuckin wild 😆
Hurry the fuck up and give him the ball to shoot so he can leave my goodness wtf was all that
Anyone got a screenshot or clip of him getting hit? I missed it.
Dude looked worse than a good chunk of the UFC roster last Saturday
Needs DWhite’s dentist’s number
Dawg Jalen’s face when he sees Onyeka’s lmfao. I would react the same
damn..bro’s teeth are literally going the wrong way💀
Teeth can often be put back in place. My jaw hit a steering wheel once in a car wreck and looked a lot like that. An oral surgeon put them back in place. I didn’t miss a day of school. I did take painkillers for a few weeks though.
Thats one bad ass muthafucka
Jesus fucking Christ bro
damn…
Bros teeth are cooked
That’s gonna be a long dental surgery
Very unlikely for a surgery to be required. If he gets treated in time all he’s gonna need is a splint for a few weeks.
Are u a dentist? Can we play this week with a mouth guard?
Oral/jaw surgeon. I don’t see why he can’t play with a splint, but it really depends on how careful the staff wants to be.
Thanks mouth bro. Solid consult.
Man feel bad for dude, that has to suck like crazy
celtic fans be like all ball no flagrant
Who elbowed him?
Of course the Boston crowd are booing him.
