The Portland Trail Blazers have been forced to lean on the G-League to field a team as they combat their COVID troubles over the past two weeks.
Brandon Williams, Jarron Cumberland, Cameron McGriff and Reggie Perry were signed on 10-day contracts to replace absentees Ben McLemore, Dennis Smith Jr., Robert Covington, Jusuf Nurkic, Cody Zeller, Keljin Blevins, Trendon Watford and now Anfernee Simons.
Of the four, only Perry and McGriff have enjoyed real rotation minutes, specifically to cover for the dearth of Blazers taller than 6’7.
Perry is also the sole member of the quartet to have any real NBA experience, selected with the 57th pick in the 2020 draft, he played 26 games with the Brooklyn Nets last season.
