The Portland Trail Blazers are getting one player back, but are losing a few more.
Rookie center Yang Hansen has been recalled by the Blazers after a brief practice stint for the Blazers’ G League affiliate,
the Rip City Remix. The Remix’s season begins November 7.
After news that Blake Wesley fractured his right foot
and is out for an as-yet determined amount of time, the Blazers released their full injury report for tomorrow’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers:OUT:
Scoot Henderson (L Hamstring Tear)
Damian Lillard (L Achilles Tendon)
Matisse Thybulle (L Thumb Ligament Tear)
Blake Wesley (R Foot Fracture)PROBABLE:
Shaedon Sharpe (L Calf Soreness)
Sharpe is coming off a 19-point performance on 7-14 shooting in the Blazers’ close NBA Cup win against the Denver Nuggets Friday in which he had a game-sealing block late in the 4th quarter.
Without Wesley and Matisse Thybulle (and of course having missed Scoot Henderson so far and without Damian Lillard all season), the Blazers’ guard rotation is looking precariously thin, especially if Sharpe is unable to suit up.
