Portland Trail Blazers guard CJ McCollum twisted his ankle in Portland’s game versus the Dallas Mavericks and will not return. The injury happened at the 8:05 mark of the second quarter. McCollum appeared to land on the foot of Mavericks center Maxi Kleber after a layup and exited the floor soon after, limping directly to the locker room.
Local outlets have partial views of the play, which was televised on ESPN.
