NBA players’ union hires neurologists to examine league’s concussion protocol
The NBA union has hired neurologists to examine the concussion policy and determine whether any changes are needed to prevent players from playing with an undiagnosed concussion.
NBA union chief Michele Roberts is not convinced that players shouldn't be held out longer out of caution after being hit in the head. While stressing she is a lawyer, not a doctor, and that she will wait to hear what the medical experts tell her, she also said one player being allowed back in a game with a concussion is too many.
