Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons injured his right thumb during Wednesday’s game at LA Clippers.
A subsequent MRI conducted Thursday evening revealed a tear of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) of the right thumb.
Simons is set to have surgery and is expected to miss 4-6 weeks.
Per the Oregonian: “Expected to be the team’s leading scorer this season following the departure of Damian Lillard, Simons scored 18 points to go along with four assists in the Blazers’ 123-111 loss the the Clippers.”
