Steve Blake's expected recovery from a right shoulder separation has been pushed back to 2-to-4 weeks, coach Nate McMillan said before Saturday's game in Charlotte.

Blake, who separated the shoulder in Wednesday's game at Philadelphia, was examined Friday in Portland by Dr. Wei, the team's shoulder specialist. The injury is still termed a Grade 1 separation, but instead of the seven-to-10 day timeline originally given by the team, Dr. Wei suggested it could take 2-to-4 weeks.
