Nebraska ended a three-game losing streak with an 87-63 victory Rutgers on Saturday at Pinnacle Bank Arena but lost senior forward Shavon Shields to a scary injury with 8:48 remaining in the game.
Shields was strapped to a gurney and carted off the court while he made no apparent movement. He landed hard on his head and neck area while being undercut after falling for a pump fake.
Trainer R.J. Pietig said Shields was conscious and had all movement in his extremities. He was taken to a local hospital for precautions.
Nebraska (13-11, 5-6 Big Ten Conference) led 72-55 at the time.
