SALT LAKE CITY -- Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups has utilized three different starting lineups through the first quarter of Portland’s 2021-22 season. He’ll start the next quarter of the season with another new starting five.
With Norman Powell sitting out Monday’s game due to a right quad contusion, Billups has decided to start Tony Snell at small forward for Monday’s contest versus the Jazz in Salt Lake City. It will be the first time the 6-6 forward in his ninth season out of New Mexico has started with Portland since signing as a free agent during the 2021 offseason.
