Heat's Derrick Jones Jr. Suffers Scary Knee Injury vs. Knicks

Heat forward Derrick Jones Jr. suffered a right-knee injury after falling in his team's Sunday game against the Knicks.

The Heat announced he will be re-evaluated Monday.

The 21-year-old Jones suffered the injury in the second quarter with over 10 minutes to play when he took a fall while going for a layup. He fell to the ground and had to be helped off the court by teammates. He didn't appear to put weight on his right leg as he went off.

Jones has averaged 7.6 points and 4.5 rebounds per game in 36 contests this season.
