It feels like every year the Blazers are befallen by a crippling injury, and that’s once again the case after Jusuf Nurkic sustained a fractured wrist last week that will sideline him for at least two months. Nurkic was off to a sluggish start — 9.8 PPG, 7.7 RPG, 2.8 APG, 0.9 BPG — but was coming off of his best game of the season (18pts, 12reb, 2stl, 3blk in a win over the Kings) the night before the injury. With Zach Collins on the shelf following ankle surgery last month, the Blazers will turn to Enes Kanter and Harry Giles to soak up most of the minutes at center. Through two games, Kanter has totaled 21 points, 23 rebounds, eight assists, two steals, and five blocks in 56 minutes. Giles has five points, eight boards, and two assists in 26 minutes.

I’ve done this since I was like 12 years old. There are players that probably think when they shoot or whatever the case might be. I just go to the free throw line and say the stuff I say always to myself, try to have a good technique and just try to shoot the ball high and give it a chance because most of my [missed] shots are short.”

But due to the Grizzlies’ ongoing contact tracing, Wednesday’s game was postponed with Memphis not having the league-minimum of eight players available to play in a game.

He apologized to Nets fans, saying he understood their feelings because he grew up one of them in New Jersey, when the team was based there. But Irving, who has donated millions to causes important to him and confirmed working with a group that bought a home for George Floyd's family, also made clear that his decisions are based on more than just basketball.Memphis Grizzlies Face Coverings

And there is also this: Those 450 or so players are the backbone of a billion-dollar business that supports thousands of jobs. Coronavirus is threatening to stall the industry. There are certainly other organizations that can say the same, and this alone is not so persuasive a reason for them to “skip the line,” so to speak.Los Angeles Clippers Face Coverings
