What’s one way to make a late-season, injury-ravaged matchup between the Portland Trail Blazers and Utah Jazz more intriguing? Call up Evan Turner, of course!
The former Blazers forward will serve as the TV analyst for the Trail Blazers’ broadcast of Wednesday’s road matchup against the Jazz, the organization announced. Turner will fill in for Lamar Hurd for the game and work alongside usual Portland play-by-play man Kevin Calabro.
Turner, 36, played three seasons in Portland from 2016-2019 after signing a four-year, $70 million contract with the franchise in the fateful summer of 2016.
