    It seems like it's been bothering him most of the season. I can't ever remember spraining my wrist and then having it bother me more than a couple weeks max. Is there something more serious here? Should we sit him for a week or so?

    Our medical staff doesn't instill a great deal of confidence in me regarding how to treat this injury.

    I'm just an armchair guy who had a broken wrist, but I think they should sit him. Whatever gains we have now would be overshadowed by another Brandon Roy situation.

    Can the Blazers afford to sit him on a road trip LA has labeled "make or break?"

    Don't know much about the injury, is a sprained wrist more likely to suffer permanent damage if you play with it? If so, then they should sit him. I thought he was just playing through some discomfort that is effecting his shot.

    The answer is no. It just takes longer to heal. Do you ever see Kobe get a worse injury by playing through his aches and pains? Batum will have a week to rest it, during the all star break.

    Exactly, it's simply a nagging injury that takes time to heal, especially when being used so much.

    Do we even know that it's a sprain?

    Do you mean he should only be fisting with his left hand for awhile?

    I just hope whatever injury he has, doesn't become a chronic problem because he's not getting enough rest for it now. Frankly, he's not having much of an impact out there right now anyway (or it's very sporadic) so I say shut him down and get him healthy for a stretch run.

    Batum is having pretty much every symptom I had when I developed Tendinitis. Hope its not that.
