The Portland Trail Blazers defeated the Denver Nuggets tonight in a historic, four-overtime thriller to take a 2-1 lead in their best-of-seven playoffs series, but starting center Enes Kanter separated his shoulder again in the process. Kanter carried the injury into the series from Round 1 against the Oklahoma City Thunder, but played through it. The shoulder took damage again in the first quarter of Game 3.
Enes Kanter said he thinks he re-separated his left shoulder in the first overtime. Said he had to tuck his arm into his jersey to run back down the floor.
