Nicolas Batum has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets, the Oregonian reports.

Batum (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets, the Oregonian reports.

Analysis:

Batum had to miss Tuesday's game after suffering a right knee contusion on Sunday. Considering he missed Tuesday, it's not surprising he'll also have to sit out Wednesday. Coach Terry Stotts also wasn't able to commit to a specific amount of games Batum will miss, so we'll have to wait to hear updates on the injury later this week. Consider him questionable for Portland's game against the Nets on Saturday. Dorrell Wright will most likely take his spot in the starting lineup for the duration of Batum's absence. Also, Allen Crabbe will be elevated to the active list with Batum being out.
