As the final seconds of the quarter ticked off, Craig stepped in front of Antetokounmpo, who was barreling down the lane in transition. Antetokounmpo attempted a layup, but was whistled for the foul. Craig landed on his back, wincing and visibly in pain.
He was helped off to the locker room, and the update followed midway through the fourth.
Craig finished with six points and a block in 7:40 of playing time. He averaged 7.2 points and 4.8 rebounds in 32 games with the Suns after being acquired from Milwaukee at the deadline for cash considerations.
