ORLANDO, Fla.
Chauncey Billups said Thursday he was still sore, a night after he was forced to leave the Pistons´ loss to Orlando in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals because of a strained right hamstring.
The All-Star guard said he isn´t sure if he will be ready to play in Game 4 on Saturday in Orlando. The Magic´s 111-86 victory Wednesday cut the Pistons´ lead to 2-1.
"Just going to take it one day at a time and see what happens," Billups said. "But it´s feeling sore, kind of similar to last night."
Billups was in the trainer´s room all night, and expected to be there all day Thursday. He was injured when his feet got caught up with Magic guard Jameer Nelson on a drive to the basket four minutes into the game.
"I felt a little something," Billups said. "I´m just hoping it was a strain, what I felt. But I felt something in there. I never really had a hamstring like this before."
