What is the story about?
The Portland Trail Blazers will face the Utah Jazz on Friday night with a nearly-full roster. Due to injuries, this is one of the few games this season in which that has happened. Per Trail Blazers PR, guards Shaedon Sharpe and Damian Lillard are the only two Blazers guaranteed to be out. Little-played center Yang Hansen is listed as questionable, on assignment to the Rip City Remix of the G League. Everyone else will, at least theoretically, be ready to go for the Blazers.
The 20-46 Jazz have lost
9 of their last 11 games. This will be an opportunity for Portland to pick up a win and remain in the mix for the Play-In Tournament for the 2026 NBA Playoffs in April.
