An MRI on injured Phoenix Suns forward Torrey Craig’s knee showed no structural damage, ESPN Adrian Wojnarowski reported Friday.
Wojnarowski added the forward is considered day to day with the knee ailment.
Craig was injured after taking an offensive foul from Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo at the end of the third quarter.
The Suns forward stayed on the floor grabbing his right knee before the Phoenix training staff came over.

Craig was helped up off the ground before being escorted to the locker room for further evaluation.
He played eight minutes in the Game 2 win over the Bucks, recording six points on 2-of-3 shooting from deep.
While it’s unknown if he will be ready for Game 3, Phoenix can breathe a collective sigh of relief that it wasn’t worse. Especially with the Suns already being down their other backup center in Dario Saric.
Saric, who provided the team with depth at the center spot, tore his ACL in Game 1 on Tuesday and will miss the remainder of the playoffs.
The Suns take a 2-0 lead into Game 3 of the Finals. The Sunday tip is slated for 5 p.m. Catch all the action on 98.7 FM Arizona’s Suns Station.
