NBA Injuries: Everything goes wrong for them. Phoenix Suns' star, Kevin Durant, had to be assisted to head to the locker room with 6:57 left to play in the third quarter of his team's loss to the Houston Rockets on Sunday night, after suffering a sprained left ankle following a fall in a collision with Jabari Smith Jr.
Smith was penalized with a foul under Phoenix's basket when Durant lost control of the ball and fell to the ground. The 2.08-meter tall forward tried to stand up but couldn't put weight on his left leg. The replay showed he stepped on Smith's foot when falling, causing an evident gesture of pain.
After the game, Suns' coach Mike Budenholzer announced that Durant will undergo an MRI on Monday and initially won't travel with the team for the start of a three-game tour, beginning on Tuesday against the Milwaukee Bucks.
