Kanter left the game, and it was soon reported he had fractured his forearm.
Billy Donovan confirms it's a right forearm fracture for Enes Kanter. No timetable as of now.

Billy Donovan says Enes Kanter has a right forearm fracture. I saw Kanter briefly in hallway & asked what he did. He said: "nothing smart."

The injury could keep Kanter sidelined for up to two months.

The Thunder are currently sixth in the Western Conference, and Kanter's absence will certainly have a negative effect on their bench scoring. Kanter is averaging 14.4 points and 6.7 rebounds on 59 percent shooting in only 21.6 minutes per game off the bench this season.
