Krstic Sprains Ankle

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP)—Serbian center Nenad Krstic(notes) has left the Oklahoma City Thunder’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers because of a sprained left ankle.

Krstic was hurt after tipping in a missed shot by Russell Westbrook(notes) in the final minute of the third quarter Wednesday night and then limped to the locker room when the period was over. He was not expected to return.

He had 12 points and six rebounds before leaving.

Krstic missed the Thunder’s game Sunday night because of a sore left Achilles’ tendon.
