The Portland Trail Blazers blew out the Pacers in Indiana tonight, but encountered a setback in their preparations for the Cleveland Cavs, with both LaMarcus Aldridge and Nicolas Batum going down with injuries towards the end of the game.

Whilst Aldridge’s injury appeared to be a temporary hit to the head which caused some pain and is likely of no on-going concern, Batum came down on Danny Granger’s foot and may have caused damage to his ankle.

The good news was that Greg Oden returned to the court — something Blazer fans have been waiting on with baited breath.
