INSIDE THE VISITOR'S locker room at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, the Portland Trail Blazers are getting their belongings together, heading home after an exhausting four-game road trip in late January.
As players head out to the bus, small pink backpacks can be spotted on each of the Trail Blazers' rookies -- a light-hearted rookie tradition in both the NBA and MLB.
Portland, the fifth-youngest team in the league this season weighted by playing time, has five such backpacks floating around the locker room on this night.
