    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Orlando Sentinel - Jameer Nelson and Dwight Howard collided on Friday and each received stitches. Nelson needed nine stitches and Howard needed six stitches.

    Howard, 6-11, 268, was crouched low with the ball when Nelson, 5-10, 190, curled around him chasing Travis Diener. Nelson and Howard knocked heads, sending Nelson flying to the court.

    Blood poured from Nelson's wound. Howard grabbed his head, and both players left the court holding towels on their faces.

    Coach Brian Hill said Nelson "got the worst of it" and did not know immediately Nelson's availability for tonight's intrasquad scrimmage. "We're worried about his head. . .about headaches and stuff," he said.</div>

    Jameer must of been going really hard to give Dwight 6 stitches. I hope they both are alright and it doesn't sound like it's too serious.

    Yea, except Baseball is way more dangerous. A hit from the ball to the head can kill you.
