Another season, another list of injuries plaguing the Portland Trail Blazers. But unlike previous years, the Blazers have managed to keep their heads above water, despite losing their second and third most important players for the same six-to-eight week period.
I’m not going to argue about whether he’s more important than Jusuf Nurkic, but CJ McCollum was playing like an All-Star before Clint Capela devastatingly stepped on his left foot on Jan. 16.
As we heard earlier this week, McCollum is one step closer to returning, losing his moon boot and potentially only two weeks away from possibly/maybe taking the court again.
