In the fourth quarter of the game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Nassir Little of the Portland Trail Blazers got his arm tangled up with Karl-Anthony Towns, and Little’s reaction was immediate. Despite Little’s initial assessment that he was being a “drama queen,” an MRI has revealed that Little tore his labrum in his left shoulder, the team announced this morning.
UPDATE: Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports that the injury “is likely to sideline [Little] for the rest of the season.”
Little was dismissive of the injury when asked about it after the loss to the Timberwolves; however, team personnel took it seriously, according to Casey Holdahl of Trailblazers.
