The injury bug bit the Trail Blazers yet again on Friday.
Marcus Camby, whom the Blazers acquired near the NBA trade deadline to fortify the interior, injured his left ankle during practice and was scheduled to undergo X-rays Friday to learn the extent of the injury.
During a intrasquad scrimmage, Camby ran into the basketball standard and was immediately pulled. He missed most of the two-hour workout.
When practice was opened to the media, Camby was receiving treatment and was unavailable for comment. Coach Nate McMillan was hopeful the injury was not serious, but said his starting center would have X-rays taken as a precaution.
“We’re hoping it’s going to be OK,” McMillan said. “We’re going to send him to get X-rays just to get a closer look at it.”
It’s the second ankle injury Camby has endured during his brief, eight-game stint with the Blazers. He rolled his right ankle in his third game after being traded, at New Jersey on Feb. 23, and missed the following game at Toronto a day later.
In seven appearances, Camby is averaging 3.3 points, 7.9 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game for the Blazers.
