LeBron James accidentally threw an errant pass directly into the groin of Los Angeles Lakers rookie D'Angelo Russell during the fourth quarter of Wednesday night's Cleveland Cavaliers game at Quicken Loans Arena.
James appeared to be throwing a pass to Cavs teammate Iman Shumpert when Russell jumped in between them to intercept the pass. Russell blocked the pass alright, but it didn't go down exactly as planned.
Russell went down in a heap, and stayed down in obvious pain for some time.
Kobe Bryant had no sympathy for Russell, as the aging superstar laughed at the rookie point guard when he finally made it back to the Lakers bench.
