VIDEO: Baron Davis’ Gruesome Knee Injury

Warning: this video of Baron Davis' knee injury is not for the faint of heart. The New York Knicks' point guard is most definitely out for the rest of Game 4 of the team's 2012 NBA Playoffs series against the Miami Heat, and there are a lot of people wondering if his career could be over after this play.


Davis was running down on a fast break and tried to step past the Heat defender when his right knee gave way. Not only did the knee get twisted, but contact from the defender also added to the pain. Ultimately, if you watch the video closely, you can see an indentation from where Davis’ knee ligaments are supposed to be located.

It's arguably the most gruesome knee injury to watch since former Los Angeles Clippers guard Shaun Livingston blew out his knee in a game in 2007.
