Afflalo (shoulder) will undergo further testing Friday, The Oregonian reports.

Analysis:

Afflalo didn't seem to express much concern about the injury he suffered in the fourth quarter of Thursday's loss to the Warriors, but it certainly looked worrisome, as he was unable to lift his arm above the shoulder in the locker room after the game. The tests should provide more clarity on the situation, though the Blazers are surely experiencing some nervousness right now. The team has already lost Wesley Matthews for the season due to a ruptured left Achilles' tendon, so the potential of an extended absence for Afflalo would cripple their depth on the wing.
