Brandon Roy, the great second-year player on the Portland Trail Blazers, injured a groin recently that has the rest of his season in doubt. To Roy’s credit, he’s saying that his season likely isn’t over.
However, Roy is out a minimum of one week and it may actually be closer to two weeks – if he comes back at all. One would think that the Blazers wouldn’t want to risk Roy re-injuring himself. For Roy to come back, he’ll have to be 100%.
If Roy is on your fantasy team, plan to make due without him. While he may return, plan as if he’s out for the season.
With Roy out, that changes a lot for the Blazers. The player who is should get the biggest boost from this news is Jarrett Jack. Jack has fallen out of favor recently after beginning the season as the starting point guard. Although now with Roy out, expect Jack and Steve Blake to play a lot together in the backcourt.
Other players on the Blazers such as LaMarcus Aldridge, Martell Webster and Travis Outlaw to also help in picking up the scoring slack.
Is he fine will he return what dose he say?
