Brandon Roy May Return Today

In his first on-court workout with teammates in 10 days, Roy participated in virtually all aspects of the Blazers’ practice and said he was encouraged by his progress but also added that he experienced some pain and soreness in his groin, mostly on hard cuts and impromptu lateral movement.

Blazers coach Nate McMillan labeled Roy a "game-time decision" today, saying he wanted to see how Roy responds to Saturday’s workout and subsequent treatment. Roy said he is eager to return after missing the past four games — all losses — but is heeding his coach’s advice and trying to remain patient. [Oregon Live]
