Pierce infamously left an NBA Finals game in a wheelchair before returning. It wasn’t until years later he admitted he just needed to poop.
The Ravens quarterback said he was dealing with cramps and was administered an IV.
Lamar Jackson said he first cramped in his arm and then he started cramping in his legs, which led him to go to the locker room
A bandage on his left arm seemed to confirm the IV he received for the cramps.
