Paul Pogba’s crown jewels take a hit

While warming up for the game against Everton on Tuesday night, Manchester United’s Paul Pogba took a hit where no man wants to be struck. The Frenchman was hit squarely between the legs by a stray ball – a hit that sent him crumpled into a heap on the pitch.

Ouch.

Cleveland Cavaliers’ Kevin Love floored by a ball too

In another incident related to stray balls, Kevin Love of the Cavs was struck in the face by a basketball during warmup. Love feigned injury and team mate JR Smith played along, catching him and applying CPR. Good ol’ JR.

Phoenix Suns’ Devin Booker takes out ref

On Wednesday night against the Golden State Warriors, Devin Booker of the Phoenix Suns attempted to steal the ball off a Warriors’ pass. It was a successful steal – except that while trying to bring the ball down court, Booker charged right into an official.

Thankfully, neither was injured and Booker didn’t get a charging foul.

That wasn’t supposed to happen. #SCNotTop10

Inspiring one-armed golfer

Six-year-old Tom Morrissey was born with only one arm, but that hasn’t stopped him from developing an impressive golf game. Morrissey has been playing golf since he was three, and hopes to go professional one day. His family even started a non-profit organisation that helps children with limb limitations.
