Kyle Filipowski’s court-storming injury

The Devils center suffered an injury in Duke's loss to Wake Forest on Feb. 24. Here's what happened:

After this incident, Filipowski commented on an Instagram post talking about the matter with a solution to the issue that has troubled college basketball this season.

When Filipowski spoke to the media later, this is what he said:

"I’ve already heard that there’s some videos of getting punched in the back. So I absolutely feel like it was personal, intentional, for sure. Like I said, there's no reason where they see a big guy like me trying to work my way off the court and they can’t just work their way around me, you know? There’s no excuse for that,” Filipowski told WFMY News

Court-storming has been a part of the culture; however, it needs to be stopped due to an increase in injury scares and the league should reconsider its stance on this matter.

What measure should the league take to stop court-storming?
