Nicolas Batum was forced to leave Saturday's game after aggravating his back injury.
This is precisely what we hoped would not happen -- he finished with a shaky line of five points on 1-of-5 shooting, two rebounds and four turnovers in 17 minutes, and thanks to a hard fall his status for Monday's game vs. Toronto is uncertain. With just three games on the slate this week, Batum's owners will be hoping for a positive update on Sunday.
