Jordan Bell got the starting nod for the defending champion Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night but left the game early due to a left ankle injury. He will not return to the game, according to the team.
The injury occurred when Chicago Bulls center Robin Lopez threw down a ferocious slam over Bell, grabbing his arm in the air and impeding his landing, causing the rookie to land awkwardly.
After the game, Bell told reporters that he felt a sharp pain and initially believed it was a break. He was relieved to find out it was a bad sprain instead. He will get an MRI on Thursday, according to the team.
