Six Trail Blazers have already been ruled out. Two-way player Javonte Cooke and rookie first-round draft pick Yang Hansen are both on assignment to Portland’s NBAGL affiliate, the Rip City Remix. Former nine-time All-Star point guard Damian Lillard, of course, is already out for the year as he recovers from his ruptured left Achilles tendon.
Point guard Scoot Henderson, the No. 3 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft behind Victor Wembanyama and Brandon Miller, will have to wait another night to make his regular season debut. Two-time All-Defensive Team wing Matisse Thybulle continues to rehabilitate his left thumb ligament tear. Guard Blake Wesley is on the shelf with a fractured right foot.
