Wesley Matthews (ankle) in a walking boot
Wesley Matthews - G/F - Portland Trail Blazers
Feb. 2, 2013 - 12:30 AM ET
Wesley Matthews (ankle) left the arena in a walking boot and on crutches on Friday.
While the injury is not expected to be serious since X-rays were negative, Matthews is not expected to play Saturday. He missed the first game of his NBA career earlier this year due to a hip, so we wouldn't totally count him out to face the Jazz. The Blazers went with Luke Babbitt to fill most of the void on Friday, but he's only a desperation plug-and-play option.
