TUESDAY, Jan. 10, 2023 (HealthDay News) – Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin is now back in New York.

The football player who collapsed on the field after suffering cardiac arrest during a Monday night game in Cincinnati has been released from an Ohio hospital, and will continue his recovery in a Buffalo hospital, the Buffalo Bills football team posted on Twitter.

“Mr. Hamlin has been released and returned to Buffalo. I traveled with him to the airport this morning with our UC Health air care and mobile care crew, including teammates who were with us on the field when Mr. Hamlin collapsed,” Dr. William Knight IV, a professor of emergency medicine at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine and director of the Emergency Medicine MLP Program, told CBS News.

Hamlin, 24, collapsed after tackling Bengals receiver Tee Higgins. When Hamlin suddenly collapsed and fell backward, on-field medical staff swiftly gave him CPR before he was taken to Cincinnati Medical Center.

The game was postponed and later canceled. The Buffalo Bills played the New England Patriots last Sunday. They finished 13-3, which was a half-game behind Kansas City Chiefs for the AFC’s No. 1 seed, CBS News reported. The Bills would have been No. 1 seed had they won the unfinished game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Bills will now play a wild-card round against the Miami Dolphins this coming Sunday.

The unusual circumstances that led to the Bills being one game short and having the No. 2 seed led to NFL owners agreeing to a neutral site if there is a Kansas City-Buffalo AFC title game, CBS News reported.

Caitlin Clark Makes WNBA History With 45-Point Masterpiece, Joins Elite Company

Published

on

Caitlin Clark delivered one of the greatest individual performances in basketball history Friday night, pouring in a career-high 45 points to lead the Indiana Fever to a thrilling 110-107 victory over the Seattle Storm while rewriting the WNBA record books.

Clark didn’t just have a career night—she made history.

The Fever superstar added 10 assists, four steals and two blocks, becoming the first player in WNBA history to record a 40-point, 10-assist game. Her 45 points also set a new Indiana Fever franchise record.

The performance becomes even more remarkable considering Clark accomplished the feat while playing just 29 minutes as she continues to return from a back injury and was still on a managed minutes restriction. She shot 11-of-18 from the field, including 6-of-10 from three-point range, and sealed the win with a clutch late three-pointer and four free throws in the closing seconds.

Clark also became the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 200 career three-pointers, accomplishing the milestone in just 74 games, breaking the previous record of 81 games.

Her historic stat line also places her alongside some of basketball’s biggest names. According to widely shared statistical research, Clark is one of only five players in NBA/WNBA history to record at least 45 points, 10 assists, four steals and two blocks in a single game. The others are Michael Jordan, Dwyane Wade, Luka Dončić, and Cade Cunningham.

For many basketball fans, Friday night’s performance was another reminder that Clark is already reshaping the WNBA record book just two seasons into her professional career. From becoming the league’s first player to post a 40-point, 10-assist game to reaching 200 three-pointers faster than anyone before her, the Fever guard continues to accomplish feats that place her among the sport’s all-time greats.
