Chauncey Billups will be introduced as the new Head Coach of the Portland Trail Blazers in a press conference today at noon, Pacific time. President of Basketball Operations Neil Olshey will welcome Billups to the franchise in Portland’s first in-person press conference since the spring of 2020.
Billups will become the 15th head coach in franchise history. His hiring has been accompanied by controversy due to backlash from a settlement in a civil suit against him for sexual assault in the year 2000.
