After playing in the first five, Maurice Harkless missed 12 games of the season due to a knee injury. He’s since returned to the Portland Trail Blazers rotation for the last five contests. But if you haven’t been watching closely, you may have missed him. On the floor, he has been nearly invisible on both sides of the ball. A ghost in a jersey.
So far this year, Harkless is averaging three points, 3.1 rebounds, and .5 assists in 15.2 minutes per game. Granted, Harkless is trying to find his rhythm, and with all the time he’s missed, it may take longer than five games for him to get back into form.
