Chris Duarte Exits With Injury
2 years agoIndiana Pacers guard/forward Chris Duarte suffered a left ankle sprain in Friday's win over Miami. He was able to play for just five minutes and it appears that we won't see him for a bit, as Duarte left the arena on crutches. This is very unfortunate for the 25-year-old, as Duarte showed plenty of promise during the preseason and he had started this week by netting a career-high 30 points against Brooklyn. Bennedict Mathurin replaced Duarte in the starting unit for the second half and came through with 23 points in 35 minutes. The 20-year-old rookie has already impressed from a bench role and could now really explode.
