The Portland Trail Blazers were supposed to hold a shootaround Thursday morning in order to prepare for hosting the Brooklyn Nets at Moda Center later on in the evening.
Instead, they’re preparing for an extended (at least by NBA standards) holiday break.
With Thursday’s game being postponed thanks to the Nets not having the required number of players available due to COVID-related health and safety protocols, the Portland Trail Blazers got together for a light practice at their facility in Tualatin before going their separate ways for the next two days.
“It was just one of those things, obviously you have to be prepared for anything now,” said Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups of the postponement.
