Re: What's the word on Batum?

Webster/Cunningham can hold down the fort if he's out.

Re: What's the word on Batum?

Man this season is one crazy ride.......hope he recovers, but my gut tells me otherwise. *sigh*

Re: What's the word on Batum?

How did he injure it this time? I didn't see the play, was too busy watching Spartacus to watch the Failblazers last night

Re: What's the word on Batum?

If he's out, we better see more of Cunningham and not more Rudy.

Re: What's the word on Batum?

Tonight after the game he wasn't holding it different or walking leaned over like Blake was when he hurt his bad last season. Don't know if that means anything, but usually when a guy hurts the shoulder bad, he holds himself a little different.

Yeah but this isn't a good sign . . .

"After the game, Batum could not lift his right arm above his head or move it very far backward in the visiting locker room"

I almost don't want to answer, just for the "Failblazers" reference... (Maybe you meant "Frailblazers"?)

It was an aggressive, but ill-advised play for a ball. I forget whether it was a bad pass or a loose ball, but both Nic and Nash ended up charging for possession, with Nash clearly having a step on Batum. Nic reached out his arm for it anyway, and basically got Nash full speed into the upper arm and shoulder.

Figures... it's in our cards this year.

No, last night I wasn't watching the Frail blazers, they were indeed fail. The stark contrast in play between game 1 and game 2 was incredible.

Honestly? It's mostly semantics, in either case it means connective tissue (ligaments, tendons, etc.) were pulled or stretched to the point of injury.

Batum MRI only sprain

An MRI confirmed that Nicolas Batum has a strained right shoulder.

Batum is being called questionable for Game 3 against the Suns, and his availability is expected to be a game-time call. His absence would mean more run for Martell Webster, who had 16 points in Tuesday's blowout loss.

Re: What's the word on Batum? (MERGED)

I think that is the best we could have hoped for. I bet he gets an injection or two and is fine for the game.

Understood, but everyone should get on the same page no?

Strain! I think a strain is better then a sprain, right?

Re: Batum MRI only sprain

If possible could a mod merge with the other Batum thread. Also the title should read strain not sprain.

... one of these kids is doin his own thing...

STRAIN is the correct answer
