Legendary Hall of Fame guard Walt "Clyde" Frazier was struck in the face by a basketball while calling the Knicks-Grizzlies game Wednesday and was later diagnosed with a scratched cornea.
He was hit by a loose ball in the first quarter, and the force knocked his head set off. He was evaluated by a doctor at halftime, who gave him eye drops, and he was able to continue his work as the color analyst with an ice pack against his face.

"If I didn't I would be in trouble," Frazier said after the game, per New York Daily News. "I wanted to keep the swelling down."
Fortunately, he is not suffering from blurred vision.
