Nic Batum struggles w/ sore shooting wrist
Nicolas Batum - G/F - Portland Trail Blazers
Jan. 20, 2013 - 4:25 AM ET
Nicolas Batum battled through a sore wrist on Saturday, scoring seven points on 2-of-9 shooting with one 3-pointer, seven rebounds, five assists, one steal and four turnovers.
Batum hurt his wrist when he fell after a dunk attempt during Friday's practice. X-rays were negative but he played with the wrist wrapped and said "it hurts more the more [he shoots]." Hopefully a day of rest will get him closer to 100 percent, as Portland returns to action vs. the suddenly competitive Wizards on Monday.
