And it was ugly.
He got up and they helped him off the floor, and he wasn't down for a long time. The replay showed it bent the wrong way when he planted it. When Jason Sehorn tore up his knee, he ran off the field. Something to keep an eye on for those of you that want to make a run at him next year.

Dude is made of plastic or something.
Seriously though, looks like a wet spot on the floor ed him up.
Judging by the leg and the angle he popped open his LCL if you ask me.
That's kinda rare isnt it? Maybe its not that big an injury, but the angle of his knee moving looks like the LCL
Spurs related because ...
... he is one of the few players 99% of ST want to be a Spur
Tbh, it doesn't look that bad to me.
lol contract year, shouldve signed
Looks like a hyperextension. Bynum did the same thing last year and he was back in a few games. It didn't look like it was too serious. He should wear a brace as a preventative measure but this isn't a Da'Sean Butler scenario at all.
I mean, if you are old enough, you might recall when the Spurs had a guy whose knee looked like this regularly when he first arrived:
I'm hoping that you're right. I'm a little biased because I saw it in real time and it looked bad. That first slow motion angle you can see how far it bends. It certainly doesn't look like the aforementioned Sehorn injury, which I knew was catastrophic the second it happened.
Apples and oranges. Sean had a catastrophic knee injury in high school. The lingering questions about that injury are the reason he fell to the third pick.Looks like a hyperextension.

... you're not paying attention. Nothing new under the sun
Watching again it's a sprained LCL IMO (on this forum you have to say imo, tbh, fwiw, tbhhh)
But it's not tragic. He will be fine.
a lot of doctors on this forum i see...
Yeah like that's gonna happen
Maybe we can get him on discount now....
this is a forum ... most of the things discussed here are not gonna happen
Ouch
Let's hope for him it isn't a big injury and that he will be able to get a big contract next summer.
Selfishly, I hope he will be ready for the Olympics this summer.
Nothing serious:

Update (Tuesday): The Portland Trail Blazers announced on Tuesday that Batum's MRI revealed a left bone contusion. Batum is listed as out for Wednesday's home game against the Charlotte Bobcats and he will be re-evaluated later this week. He's currently listed as day-to-day.
Good news. MRI reveals only bruise, no ligament damage. He's listed as day to day.
Tbh, Batum just tripped, hit his knee on the court and then did the Trail Blazers Shuffle.
