This is ridiculous.
The injury bug took yet another bite out of the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday, as power forward Nick Collison sustained an ankle injury and is now on crutches.
After the game, head coach Scott Brooks said there's no timetable for Collison to return.
Collison was a huge contributor in the Thunder's thrilling victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Friday. He scored 13 points and grabbed five rebounds in 24 minutes before checking out.
Of players that were on the roster in training camp, Nick Collison was the last holdout to not miss a game because of injury.

The injury comes on the heels of Serge Ibaka's problematic knee and the news that Kevin Durant is out indefinitely with a sore foot.
