Heat forward Derrick Jones Jr. suffered a right-knee injury after falling in his team's Sunday game against the Knicks.

The Heat announced he will be re-evaluated Monday.

The 21-year-old Jones suffered the injury in the second quarter with over 10 minutes to play when he took a fall while going for a layup. He fell to the ground and had to be helped off the court by teammates. He didn't appear to put weight on his right leg as he went off.
