What is Gary Trent Jr.'s injury? 

Trent Jr. seemed to have injured his calf. According to reports, it was "calf tightness" that forced him to leave the game with 6:14 still to play in the game. 

Gary Trent is done for the night with right calf tightness. He was massaging that leg during stoppages in play after taking a hard fall earlier in the game and hasn't looked quite right since.
