The Portland Trail Blazers are officially eliminated from post season play. In spite of defeating the San Antonio Spurs 120-109 on Sunday, the Blazers cannot mathematically advance to the 2025 NBA Play-In Tournament due to the Sacramento Kings’ 120-113 upset of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
By virtue of missing the playoffs the Blazers will keep their first-round pick in the 2025 NBA draft, a pick otherwise owed to the Chicago Bulls. That obligation will roll over for another year.
The Blazers have three remaining games in their season.
