Brandon Roy sprained his ankle in the Dallas game before the All-star game and had his right ankle taped. It hasn't healed since then and has gotten worse. Roy sat out the most of the 3rd and 4th after he collided with Rajon Rondo in the Boston game and it became so sore he was limping out on the court.

Brandon plans on having a MRI done Sunday night and the Blazers will know what to do after they examine how serious of a sprain ankle he has.

Brandon plan on being on the flight for the LA Lakers and Clippers games, but it is questionable on whether he will play in those games this week.

Right now the guess is at one week to two weeks he maybe out depending if the MRI finds a stress fracture or not.

Here's hoping it's not serious!

Even if it isn't that bad, I hope they keep him out a few weeks. If it is serious (please don't be!), keep him out the rest of the year.

To be completely honest, my interest in this season has all but died after the All Star Game. All I want is for it to come to a quick and merciful end without any major injuries. I'm ready for the summer to start so KP continue reshaping this roster.

I agree. The Blazers are not in a position to need to over-extend Roy. Just let him rest and recover. I'm not advocating tanking, but they might as well develop their other players if their going to loose anyways.

Let's see that Von Wafer"ness"!!!

i wonder if Von Wafer likes to eat waffles in the morning

I've been an advocate for sitting Roy for a while now. This team isn't performing well lately and he doesn't need to play with an injury since our playoff hopes are fairly slim. All that matters is that he's healthy for next season when it matters.

I would love to see Wafer play but I have a bad
feeling this just means more time for Jack.. .

I totally agree!

Haven't you guys all caught on?

This is just part of KP's master plan.

He told the players to play like they would normally in January, to show everyone that they're a good team.

Then, he told them to pretend to play bad, and pretend to get hurt, so that they'd drop into the lottery. Now, using his dark warlock magics, he'll make it so that Portland somehow manages to get a higher pick than they should. Following a new draft day record 13 trades, he ends up bringing in Lebron James, and everything is ok next year.

Its all so obvious now

That's great and all, and I know you're joking, but even tanking can't help us. The best pick we can realistically hope for is the 12th pick, the Kings will probably catch us, but nobody else in the West or East will be able to do it. Pencil us in for the 12th pick.

We were penciled in for the 5th last year, and the first the year before, and the 6th before that. Other than the Telfair year, when do we pick when we're supposed to?

THE CITY OF PORTLAND DOES NOT PLAY BY THE LAWS OF MATHEMATICS

Statistically speaking, Bonzi is right, it would be pretty tough for us to end up with a the #12 pick pre-lottery. If the Kings do indeed pass us, the next closest team would be the Hawks who're currently 9 games under .500. Unless Bibby starts gelling with them and they actually start winning some games, we'd have to monumentally suck to pass them.

I think the Blazers end up with the #10 pick. Sacramento will catch them and I think Chicago might, as well. I don't think anyone else has a chance though.

Atlanta could still make the playoffs. If they do, they'll have the #15 pick, while a team like philadelphia would have the #11 pick due to their record.

He could've been scouting Maarty Leunen. He's given Love a lot of problems. He isn't known for banging in the post, but he's changing that this year. Combine his knack for getting physical in the post to go along with his outside shot, not to mentio point guard capabilities (he played the point in high school) and I'd say he'd be a nice candidate for being drafted in the second round.

Unless the Blazers for for a 3 like Danilo Galinari that cancels out what Leunen brings to the table.

Do you see Sergio Rod as a decent fantasy pickup while Roy's out?

No. Outlaw would be the best pickup. He'll likely become our new #1 option with Roy out.
