Nicolas Batum won't be suiting up for the Portland Trail Blazers when they take on the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night.
The team announced that the 26-year-old small forward is sporting injuries to both his wrist and knee:
Batum has struggled out of the gate this year. His scoring is down from last year, and he's only shooting a little over 37 percent from the floor.
Still, he's a big loss for the Blazers as they attempt to hold off the Houston Rockets for the third seed in the Western Conference.
