After hitting his Ulnar nerve in the Portland Trail Blazers’ season opener on Wednesday, Meyers Leonard is still experiencing numbness in his non-shooting hand, according to Mike Richman of The Oregonian:
Meyers Leonard said he's experiencing some numbness in his left hand after hurting a nerve in his elbow in the opener. Says pinkie is numb.

The numbness is in Leonard's off hand. And he made it very clear that's "no excuse" for his early season shooting woes.

Leonard opened the season 2-13 from deep through the Blazers’ first three games. The injury does not account for his shooting woes, though it is something to monitor until the sensation – or lack thereof – subsides.
