Marquese Chriss gave the Phoenix Suns’ a scare against the Charlotte Hornets on Thursday when he went to the locker room with a left calf injury. He later returned to the bench after the first quarter and re-entered the game early in the second.
While backpedaling, Chriss was injured when he attempted to maneuver to stay in front of Charlotte point guard Kemba Walker.
