Suns forward Dario Saric has a torn ACL is his right knee and will miss the rest of the Finals. The team announced the severity of the injury Wednesday.
Saric suffered the injury in the first quarter of the Suns’ 118-105 win over the Bucks in Game 1 of the Finals. His right knee buckled when he landed on a jump stop after trying to score against Bucks center Brook Lopez. Saric limped off the floor ad never returned.
Phoenix will now likely turn to fellow forward/centers Torrey Craig and Frank Kaminsky to help replace Saric, who was playing about 11 minutes a game in the postseason.
Saric, 27, is 6-foot-10 and averaging 4.5 points and 2.5 rebounds in 14 postseason games. For more on the Suns, check out our Game 1 notes on Hoops Wire right here.
