CHARLOTTE , North Carolina – Chinese forward Yi Jianlian of the New Jersey Nets injured his right knee in a 79-68 National Basketball Association loss to Charlotte.
Yi was hurt when he collided with Charlotte's Gerald Wallace in the third quarter. Yi dropped to the floor and stayed there for several minutes before he had to be helped to the team's dressing room.
"I fell on my knee and kind of twisted it a little bit," Yi said.
Yi, who had four points and six rebounds before the injury, will undergo a scan on Tuesday to determine the extent of the injury, although Nets coach Lawrence Frank said Yi's knee was only sprained.
Wallace scored 24 points and recorded a personal best 20 rebounds for Charlotte, which dropped the injury-depleted Nets to 0-4.
