Thunder center Bismack Biyombo appeared to collapse on the team’s bench Wednesday night during the second quarter of Oklahoma City’s 128–120 win over the Portland Trail Blazers at Moda Center.

Biyombo went down as teammates walked over to the bench during a timeout. He was helped off the court and walked into the locker room.

Bally Sports Oklahoma’s Nick Gallo reported that Trail Blazers physicians cleared Biyombo of any serious medical issue. He will be further evaluated Thursday.

Biyombo did not play in the game. He has appeared in four contests for Oklahoma City since signing with the Thunder in February.
