"I basically had to slow everything down to unlock my door," Stokes said. "The limo driver was yelling for help. I was able to open his door and get him out. As I was walking out of the car, I felt a sensitivity to sunlight."
Despite feeling woozy from what would later be determined as a concussion, Stokes started jumping up and down. He was worried his basketball career was over.
"I was almost certain after the crash that I wouldn't be able to walk again or something devastating was going to happen," he said. "I had blood everywhere. My face was covered in blood. I felt like the injuries should have been much worse.
"I couldn't walk in a straight line, I couldn't remember the last sentence I said. That's how bad the concussion was."
