Goran Dragic mouth

Goran Dragic needed eight stitches for an injury to his mouth after he took an elbow during Game 2 of the Raptors-Heat playoff series on Thursday.

Just before halftime of Game 2 of the series, DeMar DeRozan was driving the lane and hit Dragic with an inadvertent elbow.

The elbow went to Dragic’s mouth, causing his teeth to go through his lip.

UPDATE: Goran Dragic received 3 stitches on the inside of his lip & 5 on the outside. Dragic's bottom teeth went through lip during contact.

11 total stitches for Dragic after that play.

Between Dragic’s injury and what happened to Austin Rivers’ eye, we’ve seen some nasty injuries during the playoffs.
