Grill was responsive and gave a thumbs-up signal when he left the court. The school said in the statement, &#8220;(Grill) underwent further tests following the game and was discharged last night after they revealed no spinal cord injury.&#8221; A timetable for his return has not been determined, according to the university. Grill was going for a rebound when he appeared to have his head pulled backward by Lindenwood&#8217;s Jaylon McDaniel before he landed on the court. McDaniel was assessed a flagrant foul with 10:16 remaining in the first half. Missouri coach Dennis Gates said after the team&#8217;s 81-61 victory that they were awaiting results of a CT scan. &#8220;Whenever you have a head or neck injury, you want to be (cautious) and have some caution with that,&#8221; Gates said. &#8220;And that&#8217;s what that was all about: making sure that he was OK. He was responsive, talking the entire time when I was down there in the huddle with him. He even rolled out with his thumb up. So, that was a good sign to see in that respect.&#8221; Grill scored two points in his seven minutes of action. He is averaging a team-high 13.6 points and as well as 2.7 rebounds and has made 55.3 percent (21 of 38) of his 3-point attempts. Last season, his first after transferring from Iowa State, Grill played in the first nine games before sustaining a season-ending wrist injury. He finished with averages of 8.4 points and 5.8 rebounds per game. &#8211;Field Level Media<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 480px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/imgupload\/95e192dc282aab2a9f9729595bc40da1.jpg\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><\/p>\n<p>Nov 27, 2024; Columbia, Missouri, USA; Missouri Tigers guard Caleb Grill (31) is stretchered off the court after an injury during the first half against the Lindenwood Lions at Mizzou Arena.
