A member of the Dallas Cowboys, Micah Parsons, accidentally caused ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith to injure his ankle while they were playing basketball before the Celebrity All-Star Game. Smith, known for teasing Cowboys fans, had to undergo tests at the hospital after the incident. Despite the injury, Smith still planned to coach his team in the game, but he would need to wear an ankle brace.
During the show, Smith clarified that Parsons’ move wasn’t the direct cause of his injury but jokingly called him an “offensive foul waiting to happen.” Despite Smith’s absence from the court, Parsons showcased his skills by leading Team Shannon to victory. Parsons scored an impressive 37 points and grabbed 16 rebounds, earning him the title of Celebrity Game MVP.
Even though Smith couldn’t play, his coaching skills were put to the test. Unfortunately for him, Parsons’ performance on the court left Smith’s team with few answers.
