The Memphis Grizzlies and San Antonio Spurs' Monday night matchup was delayed nearly an hour due to a medical emergency courtside.

When both teams warming up on the court during pregame festivities, things suddenly halted when a medical emergency occurred in the stands, as a fan had to receive attention from medics.

According to The Associated Press, medics worked on the man before putting him on a stretcher after about seven minutes. There have been no updates on his condition.

Both teams made their way to the locker room before eventually returning to play the game as scheduled after about an hour delay.
