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%.

Kyle Korver, Utah Jazz
The Jazz traded for Korver and Korver has been playing pretty well for Utah.
