Portland announced that Badji underwent arthroscopic patellar chondroplasty and debridement surgery on his left knee Monday and is expected to miss at least eight weeks.
EDGE Analysis
Badji signed a two-way contract with the Trail Blazers in November, but he never made his NBA debut prior to the knee injury cropping up in January. The rookie will now officially miss the rest of the regular season while rehabbing from surgery, and it's unlikely he'll be able to garner a rotational role if Portland were still alive in the playoffs if the eight-week recovery timeline proves accurate.

EDGE Analysis

Badji (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Badji has yet to make his season debut while battling left knee soreness. His next chance to suit up will come in the second half of Portland's back-to-back set Tuesday against Washington, but given that's the Trail Blazers' final contest before the All-Star break, it seems unlikely the undrafted rookie out of Senegal would suit up for that matchup.
