Official stops clock for injury

Read 5-8-2 Note. This clearly spells it out.

Here it is:

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 or when the opponents complete a play. A play is completed when a team loses control (including throwing for goal) or withholds the ball from play by ceasing to attempt to score or advance the ball to a scoring position. When necessary to protect an injured player, the official may immediately suspend play.

I have always interpreted "withholds the ball from play by ceasing to attempt to score or advance the ball to a scoring position" to mean that if the opponents are not actually taking the ball directly(ish) toward the basket, they are not advancing the ball to a scoring position. So if the dribbler turns away from the basket, it the opponents start to pass it around the perimeter, or essentially take any action that isn't "taking it to the hole," I'll go ahead and stop play if the player appears to be injured.
