McCollum injured his foot on a drive to the basket in the first quarter. As he came down, Clint Capela appeared to step on his foot and it twisted.
McCollum remained in the game until halftime and accounted for 16 points and one assist in 19 minutes.
The Blazers overcame McCollum’s absence and rallied from a 16-point deficit to beat the Hawks 112-106.
Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports McCollum will undergo an MRI to determine the severity of the injury.
