Al-Farouq Aminu Injury: Updates on Trail Blazers Forward's Calf and Return

Portland Trail Blazers forward Al-Farouq Aminu suffered a calf strain Tuesday in his team's game against the Phoenix Suns.

Continue for updates.

Aminu Removed Early with Strain

Tuesday, Nov. 8

Mike Richman of the Oregonian first reported Aminu suffering an injury that forced him off the court. Casey Holdahl of the team's official site reported the issue was a calf strain and the forward was doubtful to return.

Aminu only played four minutes, scoring two points before coming out.

It would be a difficult setback for the Trail Blazers if Aminu misses significant time because he helped fill the void left on the wing in 2015-16 after the team traded Nicolas Batum to the Charlotte Hornets.
