Trendon Watford left the game between the Portland Trail Blazers and Houston Rockets in the fourth quarter tonight with a knee injury. The injury happened on a fourth-quarter drive with 3:01 remaining in the game. Watford took the ball down the lane. He got tangled with a Rockets defender, then collapsed and slid past the baseline, curling into a fetal position and holding his left knee. Watford was helped off the floor soon after. He was unable to shoot the free throws awarded to him as a result of the play.
