Leandro Barbosa, who is out indefinitely after suffering a Grade 2 sprain that is similar to the one he suffered on Nov. 19 to the medial collateral ligament in his left knee. Barbosa reinjured the knee Saturday late in the Suns' loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, just a day after Barbosa returned to game action. He missed three weeks for the last sprain.

Suns physician Thomas Carter examined Barbosa on Sunday and found that the MCL remained intact. He ruled out any other possible problems, Suns head athletic trainer Aaron Nelson said. There were concerns that Barbosa could have suffered a groin injury, anterior cruciate ligament damage or a hyperextension.

"The mechanism was there to make it a lot worse than what it was," Nelson said.
