Ryan Dunn’s Injury Shock as Collin Gillespie Collides with Him
The Phoenix Suns faced a daunting challenge during their Friday night matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans, as they lost second-year forward Ryan Dunn to a distressing injury. The incident unfolded with just under ten minutes remaining in the second quarter, when Dunn’s teammate, guard Collin Gillespie, leaped to contest an opposing layup. In a split second, Gillespie was sent tumbling backward, crashing awkwardly into Dunn’s planted leg.
The moment was jarring. Dunn immediately reached for his knee, a grimace of pain etched across his face as he fell to the court. His teammates quickly recognized the severity of the situation, signaling to the Suns’ bench for immediate medical assistance.
Despite the evident discomfort, Dunn managed to make his way back to the locker room under his own power, though he was clearly limping. As the Suns navigate this challenging moment, the team and fans alike will be anxiously awaiting updates on Dunn’s condition and the potential implications for the season ahead.
