PrintPortland Trail Blazers center Marcus Camby suffered an apparent right ankle injury during the second quarter of Saturday night's game against the Dallas Mavericks at the American Airlines Center.
With the Mavericks leading 35-25, Camby stepped in to take a charge from Mavericks forward Lamar Odom at the 5:43 mark of the second quarter, and Odom appeared to fall on Camby's ankle while falling to the ground. Immediately after the collision, Camby grabbed at his right ankle in evident pain. He was helped to the sideline by his teammates and departed for the locker room with Blazers trainer Jay Jensen.
Camby left the court with 2 points and 5 rebounds in 10 minutes of play at the time of the injury.
Update: At halftime, the Blazers informed the media that Camby suffered a "right ankle bruise" and that he was "questionable" to return. X-rays were negative.
Update: Camby started the second half. False alarm.
Camby missed three games in January after spraining his left ankle.
Here's video of Camby's apparent right ankle injury.
Updates as soon as they become available.

Camby down for any significant stretch
= lottery. Fans hoping for a first-round playoff drubbing should pray it’s not serious.
Steve Goodman lives.
There's way worse things than being in the lottery...
unless you’re the Blazers and continue to make lousy picks!
To "rebuild" you need one of the worst records in the league a few years running
So might as well get rid of Aldridge, too, if rebuilding’s the goal.
Steve Goodman lives.
There's another good thing about these injuries...
they continue to provide cover for Nate’s coaching deficiencies. After all, how could you get rid of the poor guy if his players are always hurt!
Hate Odom
Jumped into him, and then fell on him. That guy has always gotten way too many calls for as out of control as he always is.
