Phoenix Mercury guard Shey Peddy was stretchered off the court with a head injury in the second quarter on Saturday against the Seattle Storm.

Peddy collided with Jordan Horston of the Storm, taking an accidental elbow to the head and fell to the ground unconscious. She was taken off the court on a stretcher but has movement in her limbs and is headed to the hospital for further evaluation, according to the Mercury.

Phoenix Mercury officials say Peddy sustained a concussion during the incident, though all tests came back negative and she will be home tonight. She will be evaluated tomorrow and in the coming days.

The Mercury quickly huddled around Peddy to shield her from the onlooking crowd at Footprint Center.

Horston was called for a flagrant foul that Sophie Cunningham converted a free throw off of.
