GIF: Lance Stephenson takes scary fall on dunk attempt

There was a scary moment in Tuesday night's game between the Indiana Pacers and Atlanta Hawks.

In the third quarter, Pacers guard Lance Stephenson drove for a dunk attempt but lost control trying to split Kyle Korver and Paul Millsap. Stephenson fell hard to the floor, landing on his neck.

The ball went in, by the way.

Luckily, Stephenson was able to stay in the game. It is a minor miracle given how he landed.

Just three minutes later, however, Stephenson was subbed out of the game for C.J. Watson. Following the third quarter, the Pacers revealed that Stephenson has a "sore lower back".

In 23 minutes, Stephenson scored 10 points with four rebounds, two assists, and six turnovers. That's of little concern though; the team is surely just hopeful Stephenson has avoided injury.
