Trail Blazers rookie guard Anfernee Simons is back home in Florida for Thursday’s game against the Magic. On Wednesday morning, Simons became the first former Edgewater High School student athlete to get his jersey retired.
Congrats to @AnferneeSimons for being the FIRST student athlete to get his number retired from Edgewater High School. The principal said it was an easy decision. Was an amazing student and even better person. More on the @trailblazers broadcast tomorrow! #RipCity pic.twitter.com/vc69bk2awT
