While the Phoenix Suns blasted off to a 1-0 series lead in the NBA Finals against the Milwaukee Bucks, they lost their best backup big man. Saric left the game in the first half - after only two minutes - to an apparent knee sprain suffered while he was driving for a layup. The Croatian appeared to land wrong on a step-in pump fake.

He was helped to the locker room and did not return to the game.

Saric did not score a point in two minutes of action against the Milwaukee Bucks and was 0-for-1 from the field with one rebound. The 27-year-old averaged 8.7 points with 3.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists during 50 regular-season games (four starts) this season. In 13 playoff games off the bench before the start of the Finals, the fifth-year player produced 4.8 points with 2.6 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game.
