Friday’s game — any chance recently injured guys sit since it’s a B2B?
January 22, 2026
Think anyone who recently returned from injury sits Friday since it’s a back-to-back? Haven’t seen updates yet and wondering what others expect.

I haven’t seen much mentioned yet and was curious what people are expecting or if there’s been any beat reporter chatter. Trying to set expectations before tip-off 😅
I’m guessing holiday plays both and Grant & Rob split games, I don’t know if they stagger Grant and Rob tho
The Blazers have a tough schedule with regards to number of games coming up. They’ll probably rest guys strategically especially the ones coming back from injury.
I expect Jrue, Jerami, and RWIII to sit on Friday. Of the three, RW is a lock while I could see Grant playing if he’s up for it.
RWIII likely plays today to help match up with Bam, but sits on Friday.
