'He's what Suns basketball is all about': Phoenix backup Dario Saric out indefinitely with torn ACL

Phoenix Suns forward Dario Saric has been ruled out indefinitely with a torn ACL, the team announced on Twitter Wednesday.

Saric suffered a right knee injury late in the first quarter of Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Tuesday night against Milwaukee.

Saric had been one the team's main contributors off the bench, averaging 4.8 points and 2.6 rebounds in about 11 minutes per game. Head coach Monty Williams turned to Torrey Craig for more minutes in the first half and also used Frank Kaminsky as a backup big-man.

Saric's right knee appeared to buckle when he landed on a jump stop while trying to score against Milwaukee's Brook Lopez.
