The fall looks harmless and yet Kilian Hayes got away with a small hip injury.
More fear than harm for the leader of the Pistons, whose exams are meant to be reassuring, while the images showing him motionless on the ground let fear much worse.
Struggling to get up with the help of the medical profession, he limped into the locker room and did not finish the meeting.
He had scored 7 points (one assist) in 13 minutes of presence on the floor.
Hayes, who had an MRI in the morning, was placed on the list of uncertain basketball players for the Pistons' next game on Wednesday, again against the Bucks for an immediate rematch after the conceded defeat (125-115).
No tearing of the ilio-psoas
He and his team can be reassured by this result, less serious than expected, while at first, the doctors thought, "without being sure, that the ilio-psoas muscle" was affected, according to the words of his trainer Dwayne. Casey, after the game.
A tear in this hip muscle is likely to rule out a player for several weeks or even months, depending on its severity.
In his first six games, all started in the major five, Hayes tallied 4.2 points and averaged 4 assists.
His team occupies last place in the Eastern Conference with 6 losses and only one victory, the worst record in the league.
