Dario Saric (right knee) will not return tonight, the team says. https://t.co/z4LU6oT1Qm

Not good Dario Saric was ruled out for the rest of Game 1 with a knee injury already. The hope is it's something minor. If the Kaminsky minutes go poorly, Monty has to consider going small with more Torrey Craig
