Portland Trail Blazers center Enes Kanter is playing with a separated shoulder for the past couple of games, so when Denver Nuggets big Nikola Jokic allegedly hit him intentionally, Blazers coach Terry Stotts can't help but express his frustration.

“Yes, I have seen it and I think it was uncalled for. I don’t know if the league will review it or not but I certainly didn’t approve of it,” Stotts said, per Dwight Jaynes of NBC Sports.

The league has yet to release a statement about whether or not Nikola Jokic will be fined or suspended because of his move.

Enes Kanter was instrumental in the Blazers' 140-137 four-overtime win against the Nuggets on Friday, finishing with 18 points and 15 rebounds. After the game, he was seen using his jersey as some sort of sling to support his injured shoulder.

The Turkish big man has been dealing with various injuries since the first round of the playoffs but hasn't missed any game. He's the main reason why the Blazers have been able to survive without starting center Jusuf Nurkic, who has been ruled out for the remainder of the season because of a leg injury.

It is unclear how long Kanter will be able to withstand playing through the pain, but every time he's out on the court, the likelihood of him re-aggravating his shoulder injury is significantly high.

Still, Kanter will play if he can play. It's his way of repaying the Blazers' trust when they signed him a couple of months ago after being waived by the New York Knicks.

So as long as he feels that he's helping the team, he'll be out there with his teammates for Game 4 on Sunday, May 5.
