No news is often good news, especially when it comes to the Portland Trail Blazers’ injury report. To that point, Portland released an as-to-be-expected injury report ahead of its matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday.
INJURY REPORT 11/10 vs. OKC:
OUT
Vit Krejci (L Ankle Fracture)
Ja Morant (L Hamstring Strain)
Shaedon Sharpe (R Meniscus)
John Tonje (G League Two-Way)
The only difference from the injury report for Saturday’s loss against the San Antonio Spurs is Blazers backup center Robert
Williams III will be available for this contest. Since Portland had played the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday, Williams missed the game against the Spurs as part of the team’s precautionary protocol of holding him out of at least one game during back-to-backs.
That protocol means Williams will almost assuredly be out of Portland’s rematch with the Thunder on Wednesday night, so it’s doubly important for the Blazers to win this first leg of the back-to-back.
The Blazers are scheduled to tip off against the Thunder at the Moda Center on Tuesday at 8 p.m. PST.
