Camby Collapses, But Doctors Say He's OK

TORONTO (Reuter) -- Toronto Raptors rookie forward Marcus Camby could be back in action Wednesday night, the team said.

Camby collapsed on the court before Tuesday night's loss to Sacramento at Sky Dome. He was carried from the court and hospitalized with a minimum of feeling in his legs.

"His back went out and I guess he had loss of nerves for a period of time," Raptors general manager Isiah Thomas said. "We expect to, hopefully, get him moving around and he'll be ready to play (Wednesday) night."

Doctors at Toronto Western Hospital expect Camby to make a full recovery, citing no neurological disorders. The incident is unrelated to Camby's collapse as a college player in January and doctors anticipate a full recovery.

Camby was working under the basket by himself when he fell to the floor after attempting a spin move.

Camby was the second overall pick in the 1996 draft and received a three-year deal worth $8.4 million.

He is averaging 14.3 points and 4.2 rebounds with 21 blocks in 11 games this season.
