Sabonis got a long lob pass from Rasheed Wallace near the
basket, and Laettner nudged him with his right arm. Sabonis' left
foot slipped, and the 7-foot-3 player fell to the floor, his right
foot pinned underneath.
Sabonis howled in pain, and he was helped from the floor by
teammates, unable to put any weight on his right leg.
Laettner was called for a personal foul on the play.
Sabonis had 15 points on 5-of-7 shooting and seven rebounds when
he was hurt. | |
