Phoenix Suns' Dario Saric injures knee, exits Game 1 of NBA Finals against Milwaukee Bucks

PHOENIX -- Suns reserve forward Dario Saric exited Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday night with a right knee injury and did not return to the team's 118-105 win.

There was no update on Saric's condition postgame.

Saric drove on Bucks center Brook Lopez late in the first quarter and his right knee appeared to buckle when he planted his feet in the paint.

He checked out of the game with 1:43 remaining in the first quarter and had to be helped off the court to the Suns' locker room, finishing with one rebound and one missed shot in two minutes of play.

The five-year veteran came into the Finals averaging 4.8 points and 2.6 rebounds in 11.1 minutes per game during the Suns' postseason run.
