Battier to Miss at Least a Week

A muscle pull will have Shane watching from the sidelines for a few days: “Shane Battier will be out for at least a week after a slight muscle pull suffered late in Tuesday’s practice. ‘I was pretty disappointed last night,’ Battier said. ‘I got home and told my wife I’ll see here tomorrow and locked myself in my room. I want to be out here with these guys and playing. I don’t think it’s too severe of a pull … It’s not something I want lingering. It’s not worth rushing back to where I’ll have to deal with it the rest of the season.”’
