The always-spirited matchup between former teammates Juwan Howard and Chris Webber started with a bang but ended quickly with a thud.

A big thud for Kings fans.

Webber suffered a high left ankle sprain early in the first period and didn't return. As he was helped up with 7:11 left in the quarter, Webber didn't put any weight on his left leg and was carried off the floor.

He's expected to miss four to six weeks.
