Toronto Raptors guard Norman Powell hurt his left shoulder during the team’s 112-99 win over the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday.
Powell was injured trying to fight through a screen in the fourth quarter. He was seen clutching his shoulder and left the game.
Powell was seen in a sling after the game.
He checked out with nine points, three rebounds and three assists in 33:05.
The Raptors said Powell will be re-evaluated in Toronto on Thursday.
The 26-year-old was sidelined 21 games last season with a subluxation of the same shoulder.
The five-year pro had been off to a strong 2019-20 campaign, filling in admirably as the Raptors struggled through injury woes.
Heading into Wednesday’s game, Powell was averaging 14.6 points, 1.2 steals, 1.7 assists and 3.9 rebounds on 49.8 per cent shooting from the field and 39.4 from the field.
