Why? Standard protocol. Neither my partner nor I knew for sure when it happened if it would be a longer or shorter duration. As the whole scene played out, it did turn into a bit of an extended deal (more than a sprained ankle or a hard fall where the player take a few minutes to gather himself and head off the court), I noticed some of the players took a break for water and may have taken a seat. One or two came back over to check on their teammate. The other team looked on. No big deal.
