CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -Charlotte Bobcats point guard Raymond Felton suffered a left knee injury late in the third quarter of Tuesday night’s game against Phoenix.
Felton, still in the game with Charlotte trailing by 33 points, drove into the lane and made a spin move on Suns guard Steve Nash, who fell down in front of him. Felton tripped over him and landed awkwardly on his left leg.
A foul was called on Nash, and Felton attempted both free throws. But after missing the second, he crumpled to the floor and stayed there during the Suns’ possession.
Felton was attended to for several minutes before getting to his feet. He was then helped into the locker room without putting any pressure on his left leg.
A team official said Felton would undergo an X-ray at the arena and be sent to the hospital for an MRI.
Felton was replaced by Jeff McInnis, the only other true point guard on the roster.
