Roy to miss next 3 three games and All-Star Game; Second PRP injection on Monday

Trail Blazers guard Brandon Roy will miss the team's next three games leading into the All-Star Break and will also sit out the All-Star Game in Dallas on Feb. 14 because of his strained right hamstring, the team announced Saturday.

Roy will also receive his second injection of Platelet-Rich-Plasma (PRP) on Monday in Seattle.
The injection is supposed to stop bleeding in the injured area and promote healing and growth in the muscle tissue. His first injection was on Jan, 22, two days after he aggravated his hamstring in a game against Philadelphia.

Roy will miss his 10th consecutive game, and 11th in 12 games, tonight against the Lakers and will also miss key Western Conference games against Oklahoma City on Tuesday and at Phoenix on Wednesday.

More to come after Roy speaks to the media at 6 p.m.
