When the player is down you can ask him if he is ok. Don't rush him, at all. If he isn't ready in pretty short order Or if a coach or trainer comes on floor, he must be replaced or timeout called. Once he is off floor and coach can turn attention to game you do the same thing as blood." Do you want to replace or call timeout to see if he can get ready to play.
Again, don't rush the player or team to move him. Also, don't play doctor. The law favors sports officials but this is one area you can get into trouble.
