Injuries in any sport, even non-contact ones like basketball, are fairly common. I just don't think I've ever heard of an injury like this:
Tom Crean said G Robert Johnson injured yesterday when he slipped on red folder or paper left on baseline at Value City Arena. #buckbk

Crean said the item was near #Buckeyes cheerleaders. Said no one was aware of cause of injury until coaches watched video of game. #buckbk

Crean would not specify nature of injury. I dont think its anything long-lasting. #buckbk

If true, that's a massive failure by the people hired to watch things like that. Good to see Johnson avoided serious injury, however.
