    I don't know. The longer they hold out on this information, the more I'm thinking it's a season ending ACL tear.

    My insider source says they've been asleep most of this time... the front office is sleeping on the job!

    He is having an MRI today. I heard he was walking without much of a limp after the game. Maybe HCP can confirm.

    Not that this is a true indication of how bad an injury is, but Batum was quoting saying the pain was a 5/10.

    A torn ACL (if that's what it is) isn't a death sentence ... but it wouldn't surprise me to have yet another guy with a bum knee on this team.

    It also wouldn't surprise me if he was out 2.5 years-to-retirement with a bum knee.

    How sad is it that Blazer fans can say this with a straight face.

    *sigh*

    It feels like this team is going back into the shit house, where we were from 2002-2006.

    Hmmm still no official news? I was hoping I wasn't correct about the ACL tear but the longer we go without hearing news the more likely they're confirming the bad.

    That'd be true of course if all our games were on the road. Thankfully we'll win again tomorrow and the panic can take another pause.

    MRI confirms Nic Batum w/ left knee bone contusion. He's out for Wed. v Char. Listed day to day and will be re-evaluated later this week.
