Suns forward Torrey Craig had to be helped off the floor after a collision with Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Late in the third quarter of Thursday’s NBA Finals Game 2, Torrey Craig injured his knee taking a charge from Giannis Antetokounmpo. After returning to the locker room, the Suns diagnosed a right knee contusion and ruled him out for the remainder of the matchup with Milwaukee.

As the final seconds of the quarter ticked off, Craig stepped in front of Antetokounmpo, who was barreling down the lane in transition. Antetokounmpo attempted a layup, but was whistled for the foul. Craig landed on his back, wincing and visibly in pain.
He was helped off to the locker room, and the update followed midway through the fourth.
Craig finished with six points and a block in 7:40 of playing time. He averaged 7.2 points and 4.8 rebounds in 32 games with the Suns after being acquired from Milwaukee at the deadline for cash considerations.
