With media day out of the way, the Blazers can finally get back to basketball. The first official workouts of the season got underway Tuesday, although the team’s kept busy even before then.

Media day provided talk of the Big 3 (Damian Lillard, C.J. McCollum, Jusuf Nurkiu0107) because, well, they’re crucial to Portland’s success.

But the role players got their spotlight, too.

Ed Davis and his recovery received attention as he announced he was clear to resume basketball activities.

Caleb Swanigan’s ability flashed in the team’s mini-workouts before media day was repeated over and over in interviews.
