US President Barack Obama was hurt when he was elbowed in a basketball match and has received 12 stitches in the lip.

"I learned today the president is both a tough competitor and a good sport," the Politico quoted Decerega as saying in a statement.
"I enjoyed playing basketball with him this morning. I'm sure he'll be back out on the court again soon."
Decerega "turned into POTUS, who was playing defense, to take a shot when the elbow hit the President in the mouth," the White House said.
The pool added, "The medical unit that treated Obama used a smaller filament than typically used, which increases the number of stitches but makes a tighter stitch and results in a smaller scar. Obama was given a local anesthetic while receiving the stitches."
