That’s awful. Nigel was having a big summer with a nice TBT run.
Most definitely prayers for him and his family.

The tweet said that he was in stable but critical condition with several injuries. Also said he changing a flat tire on the side of the road and was hit.
That’s terrible. Hope he has a speedy recovery.
Grew up with Nigel in NoVa. Played against him in high school. Always thought he was one of the best athletes I’d ever seen back then. He was unstoppable in our scrimmages- hope he gets well soon, he’s a good dude
Update: Nigel has been discharged from the hospital. Long recovery road ahead, but that’s great news. Sounds like the most serious injuries were to one of his arms/hands and his hip/pelvis. But also had a number of other injuries. Family provides more detail in the update at the below:
I totally forgot about the FIBA Europe thing. Thanks!
Would’ve been matched up against Valanciunas and Sabonis.
Glad to see him getting back into a camp and getting work. Cleveland front court options are going to be limited but. Anything is good for Mamadi as he gets his foot back into the door.
Mama-D Mama-Do!
Like no one else can!
Lets go!! Training camp or a two way?
Sounds like a training camp deal…
