Jerami Grant, who looked like received the worst of the collision with his teammate after falling onto the court, was also held out of the rest of the game for fear of a possible concussion.

While Grant stayed at the arena, Covington was transferred to a Jefferson Hospital for a possible neck injury.

Sixers say that Robert Covington has been transferred to Jefferson Hospital for treatment for possible neck injury.
