As it turns out, Brandon Roy is not as certain about playing tonight against Golden State as he originally imagined earlier this week.
Roy on Saturday morning said he won't know his status for tonight's game until he tests his right hamstring in pregame warmups. Blazers guard Rudy Fernandez is also a game-time decision, coach Nate McMillan.
Fernandez, whose sore left foot kept him out of Friday's practice, was feeling well enough to stay after Saturday's shootaround and get up some extra shots.
Roy, meanwhile, had a short conversation with McMillan on the court after the shootaround, then sat with athletic trainer Jay Jensen for a longer talk. Roy hasn't played in 14 days since straining his right hamstring in the Dec. 27 game against Toronto. The Blazers have gone 2-2 in his absence.
"It's getting better,'' Roy said. "But I wouldn't say it's 100 percent. I wouldn't say it's 90 (percent). But it has improved a whole lot from two weeks ago. So I'm going to come in today, warm up, and hopefully give it a chance to go tonight.''
Roy said he experienced some pain during Friday's practice when he tried quick or explosive moves, which has led to his cautious approach.
"We'll see. If I'm thinking there is certain things I can't do, coach understands that I might not be able to go.''
Damn, and rudy might be out as well. going to be a good game
