Jalen Suggs Suffers Worrisome Left Knee Injury During Game 2

Jalen Suggs left Game 2 of the series against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first quarter due to a left knee injury, currently being described as a knee sprain. Teammates had to carry him off the court to the locker room, as he was unable to put weight on his left side. 

Video analysis by our panel of Pro Basketball Docs suggests that Suggs' injury could be severe, with the best-case scenario being a bone bruise. However, the worst-case scenario involves a tibial plateau impaction fracture and a ligament tear. 

Suggs has returned to match but is moving slow and not playing his usual style of basketball. His potential minutes in the series depends on the severity of the injury.
