#Blazers Nicolas Batum got hit in the nose in the third quarter. He thinks it could be broken. He's getting checked out.

It's too bad the NBA put and end to the custom face protection masks. This one would have been perfect for Batum -

Nicolas Batum had X-rays on his nose after #Blazers loss to Mavs. But I passed him in hallway afterward and he said they were negative.

Would the NBA allow this one or is it too black?

The agent of #Blazers F Nicolas Batum confirms his client suffered a broken nose in last night's loss to Mavs

DALLAS – Portland Trail Blazers small forward Nicolas Batum did indeed break his nose in last night’s 103-98 loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Friday night, according to his agent Bouna Ndiaye.
Batum was immediately rushed after the game to get a checkup and the results came back as expected considering he had a noticeable dip in the center of his nose.
The team will now seek a protection covering in advance of Sunday’s game against the Houston Rockets, Ndiaye said.
The injury occurred in the third quarter when Monta Ellis was called for the offensive foul by clearing out space for the layup attempt and inadvertently elbowed Batum in the face.
Despite severe pain, Batum played through the injury.
The 25-year-old wing player had nine points, five rebounds, five assists and two blocks in 38 minutes last night.

If anybody should be allowed to wear Lebron's black batman mask, it's Nico.

Because he's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So, we'll hunt him, because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian. A watchful protector. A Dark Knight.

A media report citing that Portland F Nicolas Batum sustained a broken nose in Friday's game at Dallas is inaccurate. #RipCity

To clarify, Batum sustained a nasal contusion and is expected to play Sunday at Houston.

Chris Haynes is wrong about everything these days, they're going to have to stop billing him as Portland's most trusted insider.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

At least he didn't post that Batum died.

Haynes is Portland's "most trusted insider"? How? He fully represented Kahn and the puppies in the press during the Batum negotiations.

Anyone else surprised it was actually called a foul? I figured I'd read a story about how batums face hit the shooting arm of Dirk and Scott foster calls a flagrant 2 for head butting.

Fun fact, my auto correct initially changed batums to vagine.

 

[BBert]

Yes. Batum is obviously a pussy because he plays with a possibly broken nose, and every other injury that comes his way.

Not my words, there's a radio ad during the games for Talking Ball that bills him as that.

Your word processor misread batums as vagine?

One letter in common, a. Okay I see how it happened.

 

[jlprk]

It probably thought, "99% of the words he types are vagina, so it's probably that, but I'll change one token letter to show the boss I'm on duty."

Just ran into him in the lobby.....he sneezed and his nose fell off!!! Looks like Valdemort! #nerdpost

Of course. I figured you were just quoting some promo.

I constantly fat finger these touch screens. But it made me laugh.

When you say Batum, it sounds like you sneeze.
