Robin Lopez: (Hand) Removing Cast This Week

Lopez will have the cast removed from his right hand this week, the Blazers' official site reports.

Analysis:

Slightly more than four weeks have passed since Lopez suffered fractured third and fourth metacarpals in his right hand. Upon an evaluation, the center was handed a recovery timetable of 6-to-7 weeks, meaning he likely requires at least a week of healing before the Blazers' medical staff will consider a return. With Joel Freeland (shoulder) extending his stay on the sideline into next week, Chris Kaman should remain the starter at the five, with Meyers Leonard sustaining an expanded workload off the bench.
