The chance is over for the Portland Trail Blazers to make the NBA Finals, as they now got swept by the Golden State Warriors. But former Sacramento King Skal Labissiere is just happy to be in the postseason for the first time in his career.
This season did not go according to plan for Labissiere. The plan had to be for him to play a part of the Sacramento Kings’ rebuild back to relevancy, but instead, the former Kentucky Wildcat got traded to Portland just as the trade deadline expired in exchange for Caleb Swanigan.
For the last two-and-a-half years, the Kings have been working on Labissiere’s development.
