Lakers fans are not happy with Hawks forward Solomon Hill right now.
During Saturday’s Hawks-Lakers game, LeBron James was forced to leave the game with an ankle injury after Hill collided with the Lakers superstar’s legs while trying to grab a loose ball.
Solomon Hill went for a steal and collided with LeBron James' left leg/knee area. LeBron fell and was screaming in pain — you could hear it from a couple hundred feet away — but he just got up on his own and limped to the bench. Unclear yet if he's going to return.

While Hill appeared to be making a play on the ball, Lakers fans believed he committed a dirty play by diving into LeBron’s legs.
Diving at LeBron’s ankle, it’s just a dirty play. As a pro athlete Solomon Hill should’ve known better.

Solomon Hill dove into LeBrons leg. That’s a dirty play and you can’t tell me otherwise.

It's trash players like Solomon Hill who have to make up for their zero talent with reckless 'hustle' (aka dirty) plays. Infuriating.
