According to Adrian Wojnarowski from ESPN, Sengun suffered a severely sprained ankle and a bone bruise on his knee.
Sengun attempted to block Sacramento's Domantas Sabonis' layup during the last minute of the matchup when he awkwardly landed on his right leg, with the leg collapsing upon contact. The Turkish big man immediately fell to the ground and grabbed his leg, screaming in pain.
Sengun was carted off in a wheelchair and did not finish the game.
