Coach Terry Stotts appears to be on the hot seat as the Trail Blazers careen toward the conclusion of the 2020-21 season. The Blazers have amassed a 36-29 record and they are set to face an uphill battle in the 2021 NBA Playoffs. On the court, Portland has failed to remedy its long-standing defensive issues. That combination of factors led to Stotts’ inclusion inside a report from The Athletic’s Shams Charania and Sam Amick.
In the report from The Athletic, Stotts was listed among the coaches on the chopping block. According to an unnamed source, the Blazers must pull off a considerable playoff run in order to preserve the current coaching setup.
