The Trail Blazers' late season injury woes continued Monday when forward Nicolas Batum left the game against the Oklahoma City Thunder after suffering an apparent knee injury late in the first quarter.
With 1:38 left in the opening quarter, Batum and teammate Joel Freeland both went up for a rebound and Batum appeared to land awkwardly on his right leg as he came to the floor. Batum did not attempt and to run up the court on offense and immediately fouled Dion Waiters to get himself out of the game moments later.
He limped off court and immediately went to the locker room following the injury.
