LeBron James suffered a neck strain after a collision during Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Tuesday.
James was heading towards the basket when he ran into Jayson Tatum shoulder with just under four minutes to play in the second quarter. James was taken to the locker room for examination.

There was some speculation that LeBron may have suffered a concussion on the play, but ESPN reported that James only had a neck strain and no concussion. He later returned to the court and checked back in to play.
LeBron came out hot in Game 2, scoring 21 in the first quarter and 25 for the half. His Cleveland Cavaliers held a 55-48 lead over Boston at halftime.
