Patrick McCaw of the Golden State Warriors suffers spinal contusion in scary fall after collision with Vince Carter

Golden State Warriors guard Patrick McCaw reportedly has regained feeling in his leg after he took a frightening fall when undercut by Vince Carter under the basket Saturday night.

Shock, fear and anger dominated the moments after the flagrant-one foul, with Warriors players taking a few moments to collect themselves. Coach Steve Kerr was furious in the immediate aftermath of the play that left McCaw writhing on the floor.

Kerr was cursing in Carter’s direction and told officials, “(Expletive). I’m not mad at you. I’m mad at Vince. He knows better. (Expletive).”

McCaw suffered what the Warriors said is a lumbar spine contusion when he was undercut by Carter on a baseline layup in the third quarter and landed awkwardly on his back.
