Clarksville, TN – Senior center John Fraley, of the Austin Peay State University basketball team, is out indefinitely after suffering a concussion during Friday night’s loss at Middle Tennessee.
With 2:58 left in the game, Fraley collided with the Blue Raiders Kerry Hammonds when the guard drove to the basket. Both players fell to the floor, with Fraley hitting his head on the surface. Medical personnel immediately attended to the 6-9 Clarksville native and, after his head and neck were stabilized, Fraley was removed from the floor on a stretcher.
Initially, Fraley was taken to the Middle Tennessee Medical Center in Murfreesboro before being moved to St. Thomas Hospital in Nashville, where he stayed overnight for further tests and observation. He is expected to remain in St. Thomas until Sunday morning.
After returning to Clarksville, Fraley is expected to be re-evaluated on Thursday.
Fraley will not accompany the team on its flight to California, where the Governors will play California, Tuesday, in Berkeley.
