Trail Blazers forward Noah Vonleh left Portland's 107-95 win over the Milwaukee Bucks early on Tuesday after suffering a left ankle sprain in the third quarter.

Vonleh was trying to block a driving layup attempt from Bucks guard Khris Middleton and came down awkwardly on his left leg as Bucks center Greg Monroe came over to corral the rebound with 7:23 remaining in the third quarter.

Vonleh immediately went to ground and the Blazers called a timeout to get him out of the game. Team trainers briefly checked Vonleh's ankle on the bench before he headed to the locker room with the help of a team staffer.

"I got X-Rays. They said there were no breaks and it wasn't nothing major," Vonleh said after the game. "Just a little swelling. It should go down pretty quick."

Vonleh said the initial pain was so bad that he could "barely walk" and his ankle was noticeably swollen in the locker room. Vonleh, who finished with zero points and three rebounds in 16 minutes, wouldn't speculate on his availability for Thursday's game against the Toronto Raptors.

"It's feeling a little sore, but I don't think it's anything major," he said.

Vonleh said the rehabilition would include wearing a NormaTec boot over night and treatment at the team practice facility on Wednesday morning.
