Aren't games stopped to tuck a shirt in or tie a shoe? Isn't an injury more important than that?
I will "hold up" after a dead ball to allow a player to tie a shoe or such.

If there was a fast break or other such offensive play going, I wont stop play for a possible injury. Unless, of course,I believe the player is seriously injured. Typically those players are on the floor. A lot has to do with the level of play, score, etc. With that said, and as Mr Elias indicated, I have and your ref could have stopped play immediatly after your made basket to check on the player.
