Rakeem Christmas leaves with injury during NBA Summer League appearance

Injuries continue to hamper Rakeem Christmas' ability to make an impression during a potentially critical NBA Summer League session with the Indiana Pacers.

Christmas left Tuesday's NBA Summer League game against Dallas with a sprained ankle after playing just seven minutes. He also missed Indiana's first two Summer League games due to a sprained ankle, limiting him to just one full game through four days of competition.

Christmas started for Indiana at center and fared well during his time, making two of his three shots and grabbing a pair of rebounds. The Pacers were plus-3 during his playing time but wound up losing to Dallas 94-79.
