Dario Saric lands awkwardly on a play early in Game 1 of the Suns’ finals series against the Bucks

Phoenix Suns reserve big man Dario Saric left Game 1 of the NBA Finals in the first half with a right knee injury and was ruled out for the remainder of the game on Tuesday, July 6 (Wednesday, July 7, Manila time).

The 6-foot-10 Saric landed awkwardly on a play in the first quarter and left with 1:43 remaining in the opening period. He headed to the Suns’ locker room in the second quarter and was having trouble putting weight on his right leg.

Saric did not score a point in two minutes of action against the Milwaukee Bucks and was 0-for-1 from the field with one rebound.

Saric averaged 8.7 points with 3.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists during 50 regular-season games (four starts) this season. 

In 13 playoff games off the bench before the start of the Finals, the fifth-year player produced 4.8 points with 2.6 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game. – Rappler.com
