Officials delay Spurs-Grizzlies Tipoff to Medical Emergency

Memphis, Tenn. – Officials delayed the start of Monday’s game between San Antonio Spurs and Memphis Grizzlies after a medical emergency took place in the courts when the teams were set to Tipoff.

Emergency medicine staff quickly rushed to the help of a man who had fallen ill in a court seat. The medical staff administered CPR as a group of drugs wheeled a gurney all over the field.

After several minutes, medical staff took the man off the field at Gurney as fans inside the FedEx forum cheered for a healthy improvement.

Gaming officials approached the scores table and announced that players would get another 20 minutes to warm up as both teams had returned to their respective closet to await a reboot.

Officials began the game after a delay of 20 minutes.

A spokesman for Grizzlies said in a statement, “We send our thoughts and prayers to the person involved and are grateful to the first respondents and medical staff who provided the necessary care.”
