The contact in this case can be severe and yet still be incidental and not a foul. The key to judging this is that the screened player must make an effort to stop upon the contact.
Part of 10-6-3 ... "In cases of screens outside the visual field, the opponent may make inadvertent contact with the screener and if the opponent is running rapidly,
the contact may be severe.
Such a case is to be ruled as incidental contact provided the opponent stops or attempts to stop on contact and moves around the screen, and provided the screener is not displaced if he/she has the ball."
