Miami Heat point guard Goran Dragic received eight stitches around his lower lip during Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Toronto Raptors on Thursday, the team announced.
Dragic's lower teeth went through his lip, according to the Heat. He received three stitches on the inside of his lip and five on the outside.
Dragic returned to the game in the third quarter.
Raptors guard DeMar DeRozan elbowed Dragic while driving to the basket, and though DeRozan received an offensive foul, Dragic paid the price.
Dragic, who will turn 30 years old Friday, has taken elbows to the mouth on more than one occasion this season.
