McCollum Takes Injury In Stride Even As Timeline Changes

Sometimes, when living through a pandemic that has forced many people to spend almost all of their time at home, a week can often feel like it lasts for a month.

That phenomenon took on a whole new meaning for Trail Blazers fans waking up Tuesday morning to text and Twitter alerts about one of their teams’ best and most beloved players.

After it was announced earlier in the week that CJ McCollum would miss as little as a week with a left foot sprain, the team announced late Monday night that additional tests revealed a small fracture in his foot, an injury that would sideline the Lehigh grad for at least four weeks.
