After missing the last 25 games over eight weeks, Trail Blazers starting guard CJ McCollum will return to the court in tonight’s game versus the Pelicans at the Moda Center. The 6-4 guard in his eighth season out of Lehigh was playing the best basketball of his career before Hawks center Clint Capela landed on McCollum left foot, resulting in a hairline fracture in the lateral cuneiform bone.
But after six weeds of inactivity and two weeks of rehabilitation, McCollum is ready to return to game action.
“We had talked about it last week, targeting games, targeting days,” said McCollum of his return.
