CJ McCollum’s reaction to a wild tweet about his collapsed lung diagnosis was so valid

New York Pelicans guard CJ McCollum got a pretty scary diagnosis on Sunday.

After the Pelicans game on Saturday against the Atlanta Hawks, McCollum was diagnosed with a partially collapsed lung. Over the next few days, McCollum will undergo additional examinations to determine the best route for healing.

On Twitter, McCollum at least seemed to be in high spirits with his hilarious reaction to a tweet from an account called Basketball Forever. The account tweeted a graphic announcing McCollum’s injury with a picture of the guard with his hand on his chest.

McCollum, and NBA fans, couldn’t believe the tweet.

They didn’t have to do McCollum like that!
