PORTLAND, Ore. — The Nets were without DeAndre Jordan when they opened their season-long five-game road trip Friday night. But the center insists they won’t finish it without him.
Jordan, who missed Friday’s 119-115 win over the Trail Blazers with a sprained ankle, said he’s confident he will be able to return on the trip.
“Oh, hell yes,” Jordan told The Post.
Taking one look at the way Nic Claxton excelled in his absence could motivate anybody to come back. The rookie made his NBA debut Friday, serving as the backup center and doing it well.
