Oklahoma City’s injury storm continued Tuesday when Perry Jones left in the third quarter in Toronto with what the Thunder said was a bruised right knee that would sideline him the rest of the night.
There was no immediate word on the severity of the latest injury to strike a team already without stars Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, along with enough others that the Thunder were down to seven available players once Jones, the starting small forward, went down on the court after charging into Patrick Patterson of the Raptors. Jones was holding his knee in obvious pain, then was helped to the locker room by teammate Nick Collison and trainer Joe Sharpe.
Not long after, Reggie Jackson, who returned to the lineup the day before after missing the start of the season with a sprained right ankle, appeared to hurt his right arm or wrist, according to beat writer Darnell Mayberry of the Oklahoman. Jackson gave an intentional foul with 3:13 left in the third quarter to get himself out of the game, leaving the Thunder with six players before he returned.
