The Portland Trail Blazers gathered some unexpected momentum in January. However, all of that came to a stop when they went head-to-head with the Denver Nuggets.
Not only did the Nuggets destroy the Blazers 146-117, but two key players were injured in the process: center Deandre Ayton and guard Scoot Henderson.
Unfortunately, it seems that Ayton's injury is worse than previously believed. He is expected to be reevaluated in four weeks with a left calf strain.
Meanwhile, Henderson sprained his right ankle, meaning that he will be unable to participate in the Rising Stars game at the NBA All-Star Weekend.
