(AP Photo/Mark J. Terrill) The Oklahoma City Thunder's Enes Kanter is likely out six to eight weeks with a fractured forearm—which he got when he punched a chair, USA Today reports. The Thunder were playing the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday when a frustrated Kanter punched a chair on the sidelines during a timeout. (Video here.) The chair hit back, and Kanter quickly headed to the locker room, where an X-ray confirmed the fracture. "It's tough, man, especially to do it the way he did it," Thunder star Russell Westbrook tells ESPN. The loss of Kanter is big for the Thunder; he was the team's third-leading scorer and the leader of its second unit. Read These Next Two photos show 'person of interest' in Kirk shooting.
