James 1:2-4 – "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything!" FAITH ??

McCaw took a scary fall on Saturday night in a game against the Sacramento Kings, as he was undercut by Vince Carter of the Kings while he was going up for a basket.

“I just hope he’s okay,” Carter told Sporting News. “I play this game because I love it and enjoy it and not for that, not to see young guys get hurt. He has a bright future and I hate to see it.”

McCaw tumbled over and landed on his back on the hardwood. He was taken off the floor by a stretcher and went to the hospital for X-ray, CT scan and MRI exams, which came back all clear. According to a team statement, the injury will be referenced as a lumbar spine contusion and he will undergo a follow-up review with a specialist on Thursday.
