Houston Rockets rookie Nate Hinton took a shot in the wrong area during an NBA Summer League game on Sunday.
Hinton was accidentally pushed to the ground and landed under the rim where Utah Jazz forward Ed Croswell was. Croswell was just finishing his dunk when his right foot made contact with Hinton’s nuts.

Croswell was assessed a Flagrant 1 foul after the play occurred.
Thankfully, Hinton appeared to be okay as he got up fine and was able to stay on the court through the rest of the second quarter.
These types of injuries are always hard to watch back since they’re uncomfortable.
Right now, the Rockets look to be in a prime position to beat the Jazz. They’re up 95-82 with a little over five minutes left in the fourth quarter.
