Powell Quickly Finds His Place In Portland's Rotation After Trade

It only took two games into his career as a Portland Trail Blazer for Norman Powell, acquired at the trade deadline from the Toronto Raptors in exchange for Rodney Hood and Gary Trent Jr., to ruin a jersey. He says he doesn’t go through jerseys very often, but after missing a pair of clutch free throws with Portland leading by five with 26.4 seconds to play versus his former team just a few days after being traded, he calmly gripped the collar of his gray “Earned” edition jersey and proceeded split it in two as he walked back to the bench.
