PrintPortland Trail Blazers center Marcus Camby suffered an ankle injury with 7:26 left in the third quarter of tonight's game against the Utah Jazz. Camby rolled his right ankle while coming down on Utah Jazz forward Paul Millsap's foot as he corralled a defensive rebound. Camby went to the ground in significant pain and was helped off the court.
The Blazers have informed the media via text message that Camby will not return to tonight's game, but that X-rays taken at the Energy Solutions Arena came back negative. Camby is now listed as day-to-day. The Blazers play the Nuggets in Denver tomorrow night.
----------------
Update (10:17 PM): After the game, Camby tweeted that the ankle "should be good" and that he "should be back soon."
----------------
The Blazers were leading 56-53 at the time of the injury. Camby left the game with 4 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks in 23 minutes. Here's video of the injury.

Best case scenario right?
Nothing broken is good. Still would expect him to be out a couple weeks though.
Selfish of me....
….but I’d be happy to never see a Blazer center on the ground in pain ever again. We’ve had far more than our share of ghostly similar looking scenes….
"Mother Nature started this fight, I think it's about time we ended it!"
Camby is going to have
some kind of radiation poisoning after all the x rays the guy has had.
My favorite teams are the Blazers and any team that is playing the Lakers.
As the Mikes said, these things ALWAYS seem to happen when the Blazers have got it going
I was so surprised & pleased to see them go on and win that game without Camby.
I still believe in Greg Oden. The Blazers' medical staff? Not so much.
I'd change my handle to "bringback'09," but I'm too lazy.
