Oklahoma City center Enes Kanter sustained a fractured forearm after punching a chair on the Thunder’s bench on Thursday night, a self-inflicted injury that could sideline him six to eight weeks, according to The Vertical.
Kanter, the Thunder’s second-highest-paid player at $17.1 million a season, fired his fist into the empty chair in frustration on his way to the bench during a first-half timeout in Oklahoma City’s 109-98 victory over Dallas.
He left the court and returned to the locker room to undergo X-rays that revealed the fracture. For the Thunder, the loss of Kanter is a significant blow to the team’s Western Conference playoff chase. He’s averaged 14.6 points and 6.8 rebounds for the Thunder. Kanter is also the team’s most productive bench player.
