Concern for PJ Tucker | NBA
Hit in the right ankle during Game 1, P.J. Tucker unfortunately injured his left knee against the Celtics in Game 2. As in the first set, it was in the first half. And like in the first set, he tried to play despite the pain.
According to Yahoo! Sports, the strong man of the Heat defense took a blow on the knee, and it looks like the injury of Ja Morant, who had missed the end of the series against the Warriors. PJ Tucker is going to have an MRI on Friday to find out if it’s just a bruise, or if a meniscus or a ligament is affected.
» I don’t have any info, but if you ask him he’ll say he can play replied Erik Spoelstra to the press. » We just have to wait until Friday. I will talk about it with the physical trainers. »
Same answer at Jimmy Butler.
» I think it will be fine. He’s a warrior. Now, if he’s not ready to play, everyone else has to be ready to take over. It won’t be an easy task considering what he brings in defense. But we can. »
