The Portland Trail Blazers will open their 2020 Preseason Schedule tonight with a 7:30 PM game against the Sacramento Kings. The game will be televised on NBCSports Northwest and ESPN, broadcast also on Rip City Radio 620 in Portland.
The Kings will feature former Trail Blazers center Hassan Whiteside this season, while the Blazers will run with several new players, including Robert Covington, Derrick Jones, Jr., and Enes Kanter, plus returning veterans Rodney Hood and Carmelo Anthony. Hood will not play tonight, and it’s unlikely that we’ll see a fully armed and operation Blazers rotation in Game 1 of exhibition anyway, but this is Blazers basketball and it’s back!
