New York Knicks star Kristaps Porzingis left Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat three minutes into the first quarter with what appeared to be a significant ankle injury.

Porzingis and Justise Winslow were both pursuing a loose ball on the baseline and Winslow stepped on Porzingis' right root. Porzingis' foot turned and he appeared to roll his ankle. He stayed on the floor for several minutes, walking to the locker room supported by a teammate and a team staffer.

The severity of Porzingis' injury is unclear. Any missed time for Porzingis would be a significant loss for the Knicks.
