With just under three minutes remaining in Canada's 5-1 round robin victory over Switzerland on Friday, Fiala backed into a hit by forward Tom Wilson near the side boards. Their legs became tangled, and they fell to the ice, with Wilson's full weight on Fiala's leg. Play was stopped and Fiala was eventually wheeled off the ice face-down on a stretcher with an air cast on his left leg.
Doncic was hoping backwards on one leg after he took the shot with 7:58 remaining in the first quarter and slipped off the edge of the court. He immediately grabbed at his lower left leg and was unable to stand up. The Lakers called a timeout and trainers helped Doncic to his feet. He hobbled toward the Lakers locker room, putting almost no weight on his left leg.
