Nic Batum Delivered A Mighty Nutshot To Juan Carlos Navarro In The Closing Moments Of Today's France-Spain Game
Spain knocked France out of the Olympic men's basketball tournament, though the French team delivered a final blow—in the form of a Nic Batum punch to Juan Carlos Navarro's nether-regions.
The Blazers' Batum, whose four-year, $46 million offer sheet from Minnesota was matched by Portland, went after Navarro with the French down late and needing to foul. The punch sparked a brief fight between the teams that officials quickly brought to a stop, though we're guessing Navarro will ache at least until Spain's semifinal matchup against Russia. [NBCSN]
