    Honestly? It's mostly semantics, in either case it means connective tissue (ligaments, tendons, etc.) were pulled or stretched to the point of injury.

    MRI confirms Portland F Nic Batum has a right shoulder strain. Batum is questionable (game-time decision) for Game 3 vs. Phoenix on Thursday.

    Batum MRI only sprain

    An MRI confirmed that Nicolas Batum has a strained right shoulder.

    Batum is being called questionable for Game 3 against the Suns, and his availability is expected to be a game-time call. His absence would mean more run for Martell Webster, who had 16 points in Tuesday's blowout loss.

    I think that is the best we could have hoped for. I bet he gets an injection or two and is fine for the game.

    Strain! I think a strain is better then a sprain, right?

    If possible could a mod merge with the other Batum thread. Also the title should read strain not sprain.
