President Barack Obama gets 12 stitches after Rey Decerega elbows him in the mouth

Rey Decerega, the director of programs for the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute, injured President Barack Obama in a basketball game.

In a Friday morning pickup game, President Obama was accidentally elbowed forcing him to get 12 stitches in his lip, the White House said. Obama received the stitches under local anesthesia in the doctor's office on the ground floor of the White House after he returned home from the game at Fort McNair reports Washington Post

"I learned today the president is both a tough competitor and a good sport. I enjoyed playing basketball with him this morning," Decerega said. "I'm sure he'll be back out on the court again soon."
