Kentucky F Harris has neck brace removed

Dec 12, 2008 - 11:31 PM LEXINGTON, Kentucky (Ticker) -- Kentucky forward Ramon Harris had a protective neck brace removed Friday, nine days after a scary collision with teammate Michael Porter.

The junior stayed overnight for observation on December 3 at UK Chandler Hospital following the injury. Harris and Porter collided while chasing a loose ball against Lamar, leaving Porter with 10 stitches over his left eye and Harris taken off the court on a stretcher.

The 6-7 Harris, who is averaging 8.7 points in six games this season, began rehabbing what was described by the school as a "blow to the back of the head" last week.

Further testing revealed all normal results, allowing him to return to basketball activity once muscle soreness subsides.
