Phoenix Suns winger Dario Saric with a knee injury will miss the remainder of the NBA Finals against the Milwaukee Bucks, the Arizona franchise announced Wednesday.
The 27-year-old Croatian limped out in the first game of the final, won 118-105 by the Suns at home, after landing poorly in the first quarter.
He had to be helped to leave the floor and seemed unable to put pressure on his right leg.
Saric is suffering from a tear in the inner cruciate ligament in his right knee and the length of his downtime could not be “defined,” Phoenix reported on Wednesday.
The Croatian averaged 4.8 points per game and 2.6 rebounds in the regular season. His average playing time was 11.1 minutes per game.
