Roy Tweaks Ankle; Results of MRI available at 6pm
From Oregonlive.com
"Brandon should be okay,'' McMillan said. "He tweaked his ankle a little bit in the warmup drill, so just for precautionary measures we took him out. I didn't see what happened. He said he came down and didn't feel right. So we decided to take him out and see what was going on.''
The injury doesn't appear to be related to the left heel injury that caused Roy to miss 20 of the first 25 games last season. In fact, McMillan said Roy wanted to continue practicing."
Derrick Rose, anyone?

sprained ankle is no big deal

True
I'm good either way, although it would be nice to see Roy in the home opener if possible.

Sprained ankle?
But what's ominous about this Roy situation isn't the possiblity that he has a severely sprained ankle. Rather, it's that his ankle didn't feel "right" despite his not being aware of having tweaked it at all. Most likely, of course, this is nothing. But it is unusual, and after what's happened to the Blazers lately, that's cause for concern. (No doubt this is why they ordered an MRI instead of just telling Roy to sit out the rest of the day.)

I'm with you
I would say this is likely no big deal, but I wouldn't say that every sprained ankle is a trivial injury. Emeka Okafor missed a good half of the season a couple years back with a sprained ankle.

yeah
The next day my ankle was gone, replaced by the goodyear blimp. Not cool. Took about 5 months to be o.k. Took about 7 months before I was confident to play on it. Ice'd all the time and took my glucosamine and ibu, all the time too. And yes, I got x-ray's and went to the DR as soon as I knew it was bad in the morning.
Better off making sure, rather than waiting for more damage to occur. I'd rather hear it now, then in the 2nd week of the season with torn ligaments and major damage.
Better off missing the beginning of the season rather than the middle... besides posturing by the team. We all know that Roy's a starter, if he was out this would open up playing time for someone.

3rd degree

I have to politely disagree
Same goes for my 3 torn ligaments in my ankle when I was 19. That was a 3rd degree sprain. I knew it right away, I couldn't lift my foot. The last bad sprain, I continued to play for about an hour, then realized it was worse than I thought. I then drove my manual transmission jeep through rush hour, stop and go, traffic. So I have to say that it might be the case the majority of times, but not in all cases, does your logic apply.
just sayin... although there was a 12 year difference between the injuries... Sometimes it does take that long for full recovery on 2nd degree injury to ankle.
peace.

Not true
All of which has nothing to do with Roy's situation, whatever that may be. Reportedly, there was no obvious precipitating incident (e.g., Roy landing on someone's foot and subsequently screaming and rolling around on the floor!). If there's something going on with his ankle at all, likely it's not a sprain. My paraniod mind goes to things like stress fractures.

or TALUS BONES!!
Of course, KP is saying this is no sweat. But we know otherwise; this damn bone is nothing but trouble for Roy and for the Blazers.

What's next?
From Coach McMillan: "There was nothing special that caused this. He was just running down the floor, getting back on defense after a break. He turned a certain way and it just popped off."
But seriously, I'm not going to consider a sprained ankle any more serious than...well...a sprained ankle until I hear differently. We're probably all just a little too Oden-sensitized.
