Wesley Matthews has been told to stay off his ankle for about a month.

Matthews sustained a pretty severe sprain on April 7 and missed the final five games of the season. It's not a long-term concern. He'll return next season as the clear-cut starting shooting guard once again. Matthews ranked fifth in the league in 3-pointers made per game in 2012-13 at 2.4 a night. Only Steph Curry, Ryan Anderson, Klay Thompson and Kyle Korver averaged more.

Wes Matthews (ankle) is questionable to play on Wednesday vs. the Warriors.

Matthews sat out on Tuesday, and because he hasn't played since April 7, it would be a surprise to see him push the issue and return for the finale. Will Barton will likely draw another start.

Wesley Matthews (ankle) will not play in Tuesday's game against the Clippers.

Matthews hasn't played since badly rolling his ankle against the Mavs on April 7. He hasn't been ruled out of the finale, but there's little reason for him to force it. Rookie backup Will Barton is averaging 14.7 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists in three starts this year.

Wesley Matthews (ankle) is questionable to play on Tuesday vs. the Clippers.

Matthews has missed three straight games and could be in line to miss his fourth. If he does sit out again, expect Will Barton to have the green light while filling in for him.

Wesley Matthews (ankle) will not play against the Nuggets on Sunday.

He rolled his ankle one week ago and he's usually a warrior, but the Blazers may have more of a say in keeping their number two 3-pointer shooter behind Damian Lillard. Will Barton will start and might have a chance to flirt with 20 points for the short-handed Blazers.

Wesley Matthews (ankle) will not play Friday night against the Thunder.

Matthews rolled the ankle on Sunday but X-rays and an MRI were both negative. The injury still looked pretty severe when it happened, so we would be kind of surprised if Matthews suited up again this season. Will Barton is worth looking at for owners seeking a plug-and-play option over the next four games.

Wesley Matthews (ankle) will not play in Wednesday's game against the Lakers.

The X-rays and MRI on Matthews' right ankle have both come back negative. But when he rolled it on Sunday night, it looked like a very severe sprain. We would be a little surprised if Matthews played again this season, making Will Barton an intriguing plug-n-play going forward.
