LOS ANGELES -- Brooklyn Nets forward Mirza Teletovic was taken to a local hospital during Thursday night's 123-84 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers after experiencing shortness of breath.
He later tweeted that he was OK:
I had a small problem, but now everything is ok... Thx all fans from Bosnia, Spain and USA for support
— Mirza Teletovic (@Teletovic33) January 23, 2015"He just told me he wasn't feeling well," Nets coach Lionel Hollins told ESPN.com's Ramona Shelburne immediately after the game. "I asked if he had the flu, and he said, 'No. I don't know what it is. I just don't feel right.' Hopefully he'll text me soon after he gets looked at."
Teletovic had gone to the locker room accompanied by trainer Tim Walsh late in the second quarter after logging eight minutes.
Since missing three games with a hip injury in mid-December, Teletovic is averaging 6.4 points on 32.2 percent shooting -- including 30.4 percent from 3-point range (21 games).
The Nets already are without point guard Deron Williams, who has missed the past eight games due to a rib cartilage fracture. Kevin Garnett (rest) also did not play Thursday.
