Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis is scheduled to undergo an MRI on his left knee after leaving Monday’s game against the Toronto Raptors after one quarter, ESPN reported.
The Raptors’ Kyle Lowry was driving to the basket when he bumped knees with Sabonis near the free-throw line. Lowry remained in the game, but Sabonis was ruled out for the remainder of the contest.
Sabonis underwent X-rays immediately after the injury with no structural damage revealed, according to the report. The MRI is scheduled for Tuesday.
