波特兰开拓者队主教练特里·斯托茨周二训练结束后告诉记者,新秀后卫威尔·巴顿将不会陪同球队参加本周的季前赛客场之旅,因为他的右腿肌腱拉伤让他缺席了近一周。
斯托茨说:“威尔没有训练,他不会参加这次旅行。”。“他将留在这里恢复腿筋。”

本杰明·戈利弗。golliver@gmail.com|推特Stotts was asked how deep he planned to go into his rotation on Wednesday. He may or may not have ruled out Barton in the process of answering the question, you decide.
"We've got 18 guys in camp," he said. "Will's hurt, so that's 17. I doubt all 17 will play [on Wednesday]."
The Blazers have not officially announced Barton's injury and Stotts wasn't even sure on Monday whether he wanted to call it a "strain," although he did confirm it was a right hamstring injury. One thing that was clear: Stotts wasn't going to attribute the injury, which occurred on the second day of workouts, to a lack of preparation by a young guard coming into his first training camp.
"I thought he was in good condition," Stotts said. "Will loves to play. In September, he was on the court, he was running up and down. He was in good shape. He's as frustrated as anybody."
If Barton can't go, the reserve two guard minutes will be filled by a committee of Nicolas Batum, Nolan Smith and Ronnie Price. Elliot Williams is not available after undergoing season-ending Achilles surgery.
In a video interview with Chris Haynes of CSNNW.com,波特兰开拓者队的新秀后卫威尔·巴顿说,他“每天”都在为星期三早上训练营时拉伤的腿筋而烦恼。他周三下午和周四早上都在营地外,他说他“很可能”周四晚上也不去。“希望我能尽快回来,”Barton说。
