Blazers head coach Micah Nori confirmed to the team during his postgame press conference that Krejci had suffered a fracture, which likely means he will be out for a while.

The Blazers are back in action on Friday when they take on the Washington Wizards for their first NBA game of the season. The game is scheduled for 7 pm PT at Crypto.com Arena. Fans can watch the game on Rip City Sports Network or stream it on NBA League Pass.
