OFFICIAL: Blake Wesley suffered a fracture to the fifth metatarsal of his right foot during Friday's victory versus the Nuggets at Moda Center. His timeline for return will be determined at a later date.Wesley joins fellow ailing Trail Blazers guards Scoot Henderson and Damian Lillard on the shelf for the Trail Blazers. Lillard, recovering from an Achilles tear suffered during the playoffs last spring, is out for the season. Henderson should be back sooner.
