The 20-year-old suffered the grade 1 sprain at the rim with a couple of minutes left in the first half after putting up 3 points and 4 rebounds.
Grade 1 sprains tend to involve slight stretching and microscopic tearing of the ligament fibers, mild tenderness, bruising, and swelling around the ankle.
