Anthony Davis suffered a blow to the head in the Los Angeles Lakers' Game 5 loss to the Golden State Warriors in their Western Conference semifinal series on Wednesday.

Davis took a shot to the face from Warriors center Kevon Looney during the fourth quarter and was taken to the locker room in a wheelchair. 

A few members of the media seemed to make light of the situation, with Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley facing criticism for laughing during TNT's postgame show while discussing Davis’ injury.

On Thursday, Warriors forward Draymond Green spoke about the injury on his podcast and questioned why anyone found it funny. 

"Just don’t play with those head injuries, man. They’re serious," he said. "I saw a lot of people laughing… But it’s a hit to the head. And one small hit to the head can change everything in your life. So, I don’t really understand the joke. I don’t understand it at all. 

"Every time you step out on the basketball court, the football field, on the ice, on the pitch, you’re risking your life because one injury can change everything."

"I don’t quite understand the laughing," Green continued. "Why it’s so funny?… The smallest hit to the wrong part of the head can change your life. So, I don’t really understand that."

O’Neal denied mocking Davis’ injury, adding that an injury would not have stopped him from playing. 

"I ain’t making fun of nobody, that’s not what I do," O’Neal said, according to The Athletic. "But I do know you’re not going to stop me from playing in that Game 6."

Davis never entered the NBA’s concussion protocol and is expected to play Friday night.

The Lakers lead the series 3-2 and can close out the defending champion Warriors with a win in Los Angeles on Friday. 

Florida authorities arrested a special needs teacher Thursday for allegedly recently physically abusing her student.

Wildwood Elementary School teacher Sherri Evans Robinson, 55, was charged with cruelty towards a child without severe bodily harm, according to Sumter County Sheriff’s Office.

Robinson is accused of pulling a special needs child's hair and ears "to gain compliance, knowing it caused the child pain and discomfort."

Between Tuesday and Thursday, Sumter County officials interviewed witnesses and investigated evidence thoroughly before arresting the teacher.

"The Sumter County Sheriff’s Office conducted an investigation, interviewed witnesses, and concluded the defendant engaged in physical force to gain compliance from a special needs child in her class when the victim acted out," the sheriff's office said in a press release.

According to Robinson's LinkedIn page, she has been an elementary school teacher since 1991. She joined Wildwood Elementary School in August 2013.

After Robinson was arrested Thursday, she was transported to Sumter County Detention Center.

Sumter District Schools told Fox News Digital that school staff were aware of the incident and reported the crime to authorities.

"Student safety is of utmost importance and both the school and school district cooperated fully with law enforcement," a school spokesperson said in a statement. "While everyone has the presumption of innocence, Mrs. Robinson will not have any contact with students pending the outcome of adjudication."

Authorities are actively investigating the incident. They ask anyone with information about the case to contact them at 1-800-423-TIPS (8477).
