The Portland Trail Blazers are gearing up for NBA Summer League in Las Vegas next week, as the squad held its first practice Saturday at the Blazers practice facility in Tualatin.
After the practice, a few players spoke with media about the experience, including No. 7 overall pick Donovan Clingan. The 7-foot-2 center conducted most of the interview session with a smile, showing excitement for his new situation. Clingan said he was happy just to be playing basketball again.
Today was fun. It was lot of fun just to be out here and battle again.
