EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -Portland Trail Blazers guard Steve Blake will be sidelined for seven to 10 days with a separated right shoulder.
Blake, who is averaging 11.6 points and 4.7 assists, was injured in Wednesday night’s 100-79 loss at Philadelphia. Coach Nate McMillan said Blake returned to Portland for further examination.
Sergio Rodriguez replaced Blake in the starting lineup on Thursday night against the New Jersey Nets. The second-year pro from Spain is averaging 3.9 points and 3.3 assists.
Guard Rudy Fernandez, who has been bothered by a problem with his left foot, was given the OK to play against the Nets.
