Ben King has sent a scare through the Gold Coast camp after suffering a knee injury at training this morning.

King underwent testing immediately after the incident, which appeared to indicate the ACL was intact.

But the Coleman medal co-leader has been taken for scans this afternoon to get to the bottom of the injury.

King underwent a knee reconstruction in 2022, while twin brother Max ruptured his ACL in his draft year.

The Suns spearhead is enjoying an excellent season having kicked 38 goals from 13 games.
