Phoenix Suns guard Landry Shamet left the game in the fourth quarter and did not return in Sunday’s 115-110 victory over the San Antonio Spurs due to a right ankle sprain.
Shamet played 17 minutes, scoring three points and notched one steal before getting injured in the fourth quarter.
The guard was back peddling to play defense before he accidentally stepped on teammate Cam Johnson’s foot.
