Dejounte Murray suffers injury against Rockets
The starting point guard of the Spurs had to leave the game against the Rockets with a leg injury.
Spurs point guard Dejounte Murray injured his knee late in the first half of the preseason game against the Rockets. It initially looked like it might be a very serious injury, as he spent a few moments in obvious pain on the court as the medical staff brought out a wheelchair, but he got up and walked off under his own power. He was taken to the locker room for evaluation. At this point, we don’t know the severity of the injury, but he’s not likely to to return to today’s game. Chris Haynes of Yahoo! Sports is reporting that he will have an MRI on the knee on Monday. As we find out more information, we’ll update this story.
Dejounte Murray is up after spending several minutes writhing in pain on the court after his knee buckled during a fastbreak drive to the basket against James Harden.

Before heading to the locker room, Murray walked around the court in front of the Spurs bench testing his knee while the fans cheered.

Will obviously update Murray situation when we hear more. His right knee appeared to buckle on a drive. He stayed down a long time before getting up and walking around. At that point, the AT&T Center began to exhale again.
