Analysis:

Matthews fell to the floor on a drive early in the second half and immediately clutched his left foot/ankle area. TNT reporter Rebecca Haarlow reported that Matthews was in a lot of pain in the locker room and punched a wall in frustration. The initial reports do not sound good for Matthews, who is a key cog in Portland's offense. More information on Matthews' status should be made available well before Portland takes the floor Saturday against Minnesota.
