Dr. Feelgood Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 (edited) Not sure how many people caught last night's game but Nic Batum left the game in the 2nd quarter (I believe, I didn't catch the first half) with a knee injury and did not return. He had an MRI earlier this morning and are awaiting results. I'm hoping everything is okay, if he goes down with a knee injury, there goes Portland's playoff chances unless we get Roy back sooner than later. The Trail Blazers fell 88-78 Thursday night to the Boston Celtics, but may have suffered an even bigger loss as starting small forward Nicolas Batum left the game in the second quarter with a left knee injury and never returned. Batum, who was forced to use crutches to walk after the game, is scheduled to undergo a magnetic resonance imaging test this morning to learn the extent of his injury. If it's something serious, it might just be the nail-in-the-coffin for a Blazers team that has already seen eight different players miss a combined 156 games this season because of injury. "I'm kind of numb to guys getting hurt," LaMarcus Aldridge said afterward in a solemn Blazers locker room. "It seems like every game we have an MRI. We hope that he's OK. We can't afford to lose anybody else." http://www.oregonlive.com/blazers/index.ssf/2011/01/boston_88_portland_78_allen_pi.html Edited January 28, 2011 by Dr. Feelgood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Swish* Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Portland is really a city for getting injured or something damn! Bad news keep rolling and piling up for the Blazers. Hopefully, it's nothing too serious, and he will be back sooner than later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
