NBA schedule: Knicks blow out Heat without Carmelo Anthony

It’s not completely clear when the injury occurred, but Marion made a lay up on a fast break and came out of the a couple of minutes later. It’s unclear if the injury occurred on that play or earlier in the quarter. At the time, the Mavs were leading, 59-48, after trailing, 44-40, at the start of the quarter. Marion left the game with 10 points and five rebounds.
