Carl Landry Collision with Dirk Nowitzki, loses 5 teeth

During Friday night's game between the Dallas Mavericks and the Houston Rockets, Dirk Nowitzki collided with Carl Landry causing more than a little blood to be lost.

What also was a causality was five of Carl Landry's teeth. Landry had previously lost a couple teeth in a playoff collision with Carlos Boozer back in 2008. Landry eventually left the game and was taken to the emergency room.

According to FSN Houston, they reported that two of Landry's teeth were embedded in Dirk's arm after the collision. Dirk did not return to the game as Houston went onto win, 116-108.

I guess the tooth fairy got lucky tonight, huh?
