The Portland Trail Blazers will face the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday with their now-customary injury list intact. The Blazers released the latest injury update for the game and their hefty suitcase full of non-functional players is making the trip to Canada.
Portland’s PR department announced that Scoot Henderson (hamstring tear), Jrue Holiday (calf strain), Damian Lillard (Achilles tendon), Matisse Thybulle (thumb strain), and Blake Wesley (foot fracture) are out. That leaves the franchise one knee ligament away from being able to yell, “Bingo!”
As if that weren’t enough, starting center Donovan Clingan is listed as questionable due to illness.
The Blazers and Raptors will face off Tuesday at 4:30 PM, Pacific. The Blazers also have a Wednesday game against the Cleveland Cavaliers on tap. Lineups may continue to be threadbare for a bit. Stay tuned.
