Tony Parker suffers eye injury during Drake-Chris Brown NYC nightclub brawl

"The cornea has been touched. I can't do anything for seven days ... But I was lucky. The injury won't prevent me from competing the Olympics in any way," he added.

Here's hoping there are no lingering effects on Parker's vision from the incident; considering how badly some other club-goers were injured in the melee (seriously, some of the photos running along with that Daily News story are not for the squeamish) it seems like it could have been much, much worse.
