Portland's Wesley Matthews Wore an Iron Man Mask Prior to Game 3 vs. Memphis

Wesley Matthews earned the nickname "Iron Man" because of his penchant for playing through injuries.

But unfortunately for the Portland Trail Blazers, their shooting guard tore his Achilles on March 5 and has been sidelined since. For all his toughness and grit, the Iron Man ran into an injury he couldn't fight through.

Before Game 3 between the Blazers and Memphis Grizzlies, Matthews emerged from the locker room rocking a tribute to his nickname.

The Portland faithful loved it:

If the Blazers fall behind 0-3 to the Grizzlies, it might take more than a superhero to salvage their playoff hopes.
