What do you do when a player goes down injured as the other team is going the other way on a fast break with an obvious advantage and a high likelyhood to score. You see no blood or obvious broken bones on the injured player. I would think you wait until a dead ball or the injured player's team gets possession. Is there a place in the rule book that tells you what to do, or does this fall under the "official's discression" category??
Rule 5-8-2d Note: "When a player is injured as in Art.2(a), the official may suspend play after the ball is dead or is in control of the injured player's team.... When necessary ..., the official may immediately suspend play."
