    Phoenix Suns rookie forward Gani Lawal has torn ligaments in his right knee and will miss the rest of the season.

    The Suns announced Thursday that Lawal was injured during practice Thursday morning at US Airways Center. How Lawal hurt his knee wasn't immediately disclosed.

    The team says Lawal underwent an MRI exam that revealed a torn anterior cruciate ligament and a partially torn medial collateral ligament. Suns officials say Lawal will undergo surgery once swelling in his right knee subsides, which may take up to two weeks.
