Nicolas Batum admits wrist impacting his shot

Nicolas Batum admitted that his wrist injury is impacting his shot.

"I have trouble when I shoot," Batum said. Since January 19, Batum has shot just 27-of-70 from the field. Batum is shooting just 42.3 percent from the field this season, a career-low. Batum has also scored in single digits in two of his last three games, something that happened just twice in all of January. An MRI has already ruled out any bone issues, but Batum playing through the injury isn't going to help his wrist heal at the rate his fantasy owners desire.
