Stanford’s Oscar da Silva suffered scary, emotional head injury in loss to Colorado

Stanford star Oscar da Silva suffered a scary head injury early in the second half of their 81-74 loss to Colorado in Boulder on Saturday afternoon.

Da Silva, just minutes into the second half, attempted to cut off Colorado’s Evan Battey on a fast break to stop a layup, however the two collided and were sent tumbling to the ground under the hoop.

As they went down, da Silva slammed the left side of his head onto the court and remained motionless on the floor.

Medical professionals quickly rushed to him and rolled him over to find that blood was coming from his head.
