Zach Lavine gets injured in the first quarter
Zach Lavine left the game early with an apparent knee injury in the first 5 mins of the game. He got an offensive rebound and he came back down with it. Zach didn’t have any awkward landing but as got the ball out on the baseline, he started limping. He left the game immediately and headed straight to the locker room and did not return for the rest of the game.
