ok now the seasons over
In the postgame locker room, Roy could not lift his left arm over his shoulder after dinging it in the fourth quarter. After missing a layup, he got tangled with a Dallas player while wrestling for the ball and "tweaked" it. Roy said he was told it was "loose," and he was in noticeable pain down the stretch and after the game, but said he would try to play versus the Spurs.
He planned to take some anti-inflammatory medication to help his shoulder in the short-term and expects to undergo a magnetic resonance imagining when the team returns to Portland on Thursday.
"It hurts," he said, "But we have to wait and see. I'll know more in the morning."
But it will not take anymore time to realize this: After a season full of adversity and injuries, the Blazers continue to show resolve and grit.
