Nicolas Batum sits out practice Friday
Nicolas Batum - G/F - Portland Trail Blazers
Dec. 7, 2012 - 4:10 PM ET
Nicolas Batum (lower back) missed practice Friday and his status for Saturday's game against the Kings is up in the air.
Batum "tweaked" his back during Wednesday's game and tried to play through it before eventually leaving for good. Batum has been been a fantasy stud this year, but back injuries, and specifically the lower back, can be notoriously tricky to predict. If Batum is sidelined, fantasy owners are unlikely to find a speculative add on Portland's bench, which is among the worst in the league.
