Hawks cheerleader taken off on stretcher
by Chris Strauss, USA TODAY Sports
An Atlanta Hawks cheerleader was taken off the court on a stretcher after slipping and hitting her head during a dance routine in the second half of the team’s 127-113 loss to the Dallas Mavericks Monday night.
Via The Atlanta Journal-Constitution:
Cheerleader Kristen, whose last name was not released, was taken by paramedics to Atlanta Medical Center. She was released Monday night following examination by physicians, according to the team.
Kristen is half of a pair of identical twins from Houston, who according to the team’s website, has “a lucky pair of socks that I wear for every Hawks game.” Unless they were in the laundry Monday night, she may want to reconsider that superstition. Although judging from the video, the fact that she escaped relatively unscathed might mean they were actually serving their purpose.
In addition to her work on the court, Kristen’s bio says she is a full-time pre-Kindergarten teacher and is obsessed with Oatmeal Creme Pies. Hopefully the team sent a few boxes to her home to assist with a speedy recovery.
