McCollum hurt in loss to Spurs

SAN ANTONIO 108 PORTLAND 103

DeMar DeRozan scored 21 points and the San Antonio Spurs extended their winning streak to eight games with a 108-103 victory Saturday night over the visiting Portland Trail Blazers, who lost CJ McCollum to a left leg injury.

Damian Lillard scored 34 for Portland, which had won three in a row. McCollum exited under assistance with 7:03 left in the third quarter. He stayed on the court for a few minutes clutching his left leg in pain after tumbling out of bounds when his driving layup was blocked by Jakob Poeltl. The Trail Blazers said he’ll have an MRI on Sunday.
