The Portland Trail Blazers swingman Allen Crabbe suffered a “severe” left ankle sprain, an MRI confirmed on Thursday. Crabbe will be out 4-6 weeks, which includes the remainder of Portland’s summer league season in Las Vegas.
Crabbe averaged over 15 points per game on 53 percent shooting in four games in Las Vegas. He was their best perimeter scorer in those four games.
Crabbe came down hard on his left leg and let out a scream when the injury occurred after blocking a shot by Minnesota’s Karl-Anthony Towns. Crabbe laid on the floor for several minutes as the game was suspended and medics were called to his aid.
Blazers trainers checked on him but needed to call the medics to bring a stretcher. They did not put Crabbe in any kind of brace on the leg but he could not walk off under his own power.
