Trail Blazers forward Maurice Harkless’ injury won’t cost him his job in the starting lineup. According to NBC Sports Northwest’s Peter Socotch, coach Terry Stotts plans on placing Harkless back in the starting rotation when he returns from injury.
An interesting nugget to come out of practice today: Terry Stotts, in talking about the rotation, indicated Harkless would remain a starter once back healthy. Not a shock, but something that hadn't been aired out yet during training camp. #ripcity
