Training camp: Al-Farouq Aminu says Portland Trail Blazers are committed to starting season off better than before

Over the last couple years, the Portland Trail Blazers have had lackluster starts to their seasons, forcing them to play catch-up.

After the second day of training camp, a reporter asked Al-Farouq Aminu what made him hope they would start their season off better than they have in the last three years he’s been here. With a smile, Aminu replied, “Because we’re committed to it.”

He went on:

“You never know how the season might go, you know what I mean? Last two years in a row, I’ve been hurt, which hasn’t helped…

[We’ve just got to] make sure we get off to that good start.
