WASHINGTON (AP) -Orlando Magic center Darko Milicic sprained his right ankle in the second quarter Tuesday night against the Washington Wizards and could miss the start of the playoffs.
Milicic was hurt when his right leg was sandwiched between Wizards players DeShawn Stevenson and Brendan Haywood as the three players fought for a rebound. Milicic left the arena on crutches and with his foot in a protective boot. He’ll have an MRI exam on Wednesday.
Milicic will miss Orlando’s regular-season finale Wednesday against Miami. He said after the game he hopes he can return in time for the Magic’s first playoff game this weekend.
Milicic is averaging 8.0 points and 5.5 rebounds this season.
