Heat forward Derrick Jones Jr. exited Sunday’s game against the Knicks after sustaining an injury with 10:45 remaining in the second quarter.
While Jones, 21, was driving to the basket on a fastbreak, he was fouled by New York’s Allonzo Trier and looked to come up awkwardly on his right leg. There has been no official diagnosis on Jones’ injury yet.
Madison Square Garden was silent with Jones down on the court after a replay was shown on the video screen.
