Griz center Darko Milicic left the game with 6:26 remaining in the first quarter after suffering a sprained left ankle.

The team announced that he wouldn’t return to the game. X-rays were negative.

But Milicic couldn’t seem to put pressure on the ankle. He actually needed a wheel chair to leave reach the locker room after landing awkwardly on Portland center Joel Pryzbilla’s foot.

Monday night was Milicic’s second appearance after missing seven straight games due to a sprained left thumb.
