<p><span>Mickael Pietrus</span> was hospitalized (but will not be admitted) after suffering from a "questionable closed head injury" during the second quarter of the <a href="https://www.celticsblog.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Boston Celtics</a>' loss to the <a href="https://www.libertyballers.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Philadelphia 76ers</a> on Friday at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA.</p>
<p>Pietrus was motionless on the court for several minutes after going down hard when driving to the basket. He was eventually removed from the court on a stretcher, taken to an ambulance and transferred to a nearby hospital. Pietrus has a concussion and has already had an X-Ray and a CT scan, but will also have an MRI, according to the Celtics.</p>

<p>Needless to say, the moment Pietrus went down was a scary one for the Celtics.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"It looked awful," said Rivers. "I saw it it immediately -- I didn't think he hit his head, I wasn't sure, but i just saw his neck snap, so you knew that was bad. Obviously, he was throwing up on the floor, so that wasn't very good either." <a target="_blank" href="http://espn.go.com/blog/boston/celtics/post/_/id/4691326/rivers-offers-update-on-pietrus"><b>(via ESPN Boston)</b></a></p>

<p><span>Mickael Pietrus</span> suffered a scary injury during the second quarter of the <a href="https://www.celticsblog.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Boston Celtics</a>' game against the <a href="https://www.libertyballers.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Philadelphia 76ers</a> on Friday night at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA. Pietrus fell hard and landed on his upper back after driving to the basket. He was motionless on the ground for several minutes before being removed on a stretcher.</p>

<p>The team has not yet released an update on Pietrus' condition, but the Associated Press reported <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/#!/ESPNForsberg/status/183377058372653056">(via ESPN's Chris Forsberg)</a> that he has been taken to a nearby hospital and diagnosed with a "questionable closed head injury." Pietrus was starting in place of an injured <span>Ray Allen</span>, who missed Friday's game with a sore right ankle. Pietrus, a three-point specialist, is averaging 6.9 points and 3.0 rebounds through 36 games this season.</p>
<p>Boston also lost Avery Bradley in the game, as he injured his left ankle.</p>
