McCollum had an MRI on Sunday that showed it far less severe than everyone originally thought.
The injury came after McCollum landed awkwardly on a drive to the basket.
Jakob Poeltl landed on McCollum’s foot putting pressure on the injury.
The 27-year-old fan favorite shooting guard is leading the Blazers’ in second scoring with averages of 21.3 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.9 assists.
