Related Topics: Court

NC State point guard Markell Johnson took a hard fall on Saturday, landing directly on his tailbone after a high flying block attempt with 9:45 left in first half of the Wolfpack's game against Pitt.

Johnson was carried off the court without putting weight on either leg after the brutal fall.

Johnson added one rebound and three assists for NC State before exiting the game after his injury in the first.

He returned to the bench during the second half but was "not moving well," per Luke DeCock of the News & Observer. Johnson is not expected to return, but has not officially been ruled out.
