Kyle Anderson will be out for a long time, according to various media reports. The San Antonio Spurs forward injured his knee in the game against Oklahoma City Thunder. The inner band was probably affected.
Anderson was fouled to the basket in the third quarter of the match against OKC at a drive and then landed unhappy. Afterwards he kept his knee in pain, but continued to play for a few minutes. Later he left the court with the help of LaMarcus Aldridge and Manu Ginobili.
The Spurs have announced that Anderson has contracted an overstretching of the knee. Examinations were negative. Still, Anderson’s gonna have an MRI on Monday. According to ESPN, the forward’s knee is more severely damaged. According to this, Anderson could have had an internal ligament rupture, which is why the Spurs would have to forego the forward for a longer period of time.
Anderson started this season mostly as a replacement for the still injured Kawhi Leonard. In 22 games he played 9.0 points, 6.1 rebounds and 3.0 assists.
