Apparently he got his eyeball dislodged or something during the Pitt-Nova game.

All I know is the announcers were pretty somber as I switched the channel over and they said he was already on his way to the hospital.

If his eye was enucleated (poked out...literally) LASER does nothing for it. The key is the get the eye salvaged, placed back into the orbit, and ensure all the "wires" and "cables" are still connected. I will save you the cranial nerves and muscles involved, you're welcome.

EYES = BAAADDDD!!!

The announcers said that the courtside doctor called from a stretcher immediately upon seeing it.

Damn, this just ain't right for anybody, much less this kid that had a pro future.

According to eyewitness accounts his eye got poked out of socket. Not much laser surgery can do for that. :cry

ESPN reporting that Ray's granddad said he's "all right."

"Nothing severe..."

1) Courtside Dr calls for stretcher...no surprise...eyeballs and limbs are always "get the stretcher" moment (not plantar fasciitis or sprains, I mean CRITICAL STUFF).

2) I am glad it is nothing severe. That kid is AWESOME!

If the eye pops out, it can be popped back in assuming nothing gets severed. I hope that's the case. I bet his season is done, tho.

Obviously the quality is lacking, but this is the best there is.

Doesn't appear as if the eye came completely out of the socket, but still came out far enough to really freak people out.

Maybe it did and the pictures failed to capture it because Ray was turned away from and had his hand covering the eye.

Thank God he's not blind. Not just for the Tournament, but his NBA future. He was a few months away from being a 1st-round pick. Hopefully nothing lingers.

I've got a link to a video, but so far, on three different computers, it's failed to load.

It takes like 20 minutes per, then has either crashed or just not shown the video.

I'll spare you the frustration unless you really want it.

I couldn't even wear contacts because I got freaked out about fooling around with my eyes. I can only imagine what it must have been like if he had to cup his eye in his hand, until they were able to pop it back in.

No idea if the extent was that bad, but several message boards were proclaiming it popped out. As in completely out. *shudder* That's just gross...

I'll see if I can find it again. I deleted it from my cache yesterday when nobody asked for it. ESPN has started to show replays, so it's nothing that hasn't been seen anymore.

Again, though, I'll see what I can dig up.
