Nicolas Batum did not practice on Wednesday, instead receiving treatment on his wrist, and reiterated that he plans to play through the pain.
Batum will contribute in "ways other than scoring," but simply put, his wrist isn't going to get better by playing through the concern. There is a very real chance he could aggravate it if whacked on the hand again, and at that point, it wouldn't be surprising to see him take some time off in order to get his wrist right.
