Payton II (R Hip Adductor Soreness)— Trail Blazers PR (@TrailBlazersPR) January 19, 2023The center, who has enjoyed an uptick in play of late, will be needed to combat 7 foot MVP candidate Joel Embiid. Nurkic is currently the only Blazer standing taller than 6’9 on the regular roster, however the franchise’s two two-way players measure taller than 7 foot.
