Portland Trail Blazers shooting guard CJ McCollum has recovered from his collapsed lung and is fit and ready to play.
Coach Chauncey Billups says the only thing holding him back from a return to the court is the birth of the 30-year-old’s first child.
Coach Billups says CJ McCollum is doing great and is completely healthy, in shape, and ready to go. He and his wife, Elise, are awaiting the birth of their first baby. McCollum is expected to return to the court after the baby arrives.
