Golden State Warriors guard Patrick McCaw said that “God definitely is watching over me” as he tweeted about persevering through trials from James 1:2-4. He also thanked everyone for their thoughts and prayers.

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.

Please join us in praying for a speedy recovery for Patrick McCaw.
