Brandon Rush injury: Warriors G-F out for season with torn ACL

Rush, who was helped off the court after injuring his left knee in Friday’s 104-94 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, had an MRI Saturday and the diagnosis ends the 27-year-old forward’s season.

Rush’s agent, Mark Bartelstein, called the diagnosis “devastating.”

Rush appeared to injure his knee on a dunk attempt during the second quarter. After banging his knee on the attempt, Rush was in obvious pain while attempting to walk it off. According to the Warriors, Rush was taken into the locker room for X-rays. He will undergo an MRI on Saturday to determine the extent of the injury.

Warriors beat writer Marcus Thompson said it looked like Rush may have suffered a serious knee injury, possibly a torn ACL or dislocated knee cap. If the injury is indeed serious, it would be a big loss for the Warriors. Rush, in his second season with the Warriors, is one of the key contributors off the bench.
