After Months Of Social Distancing, Trail Blazers Prepare To Return To Contact Practice

Almost exactly four months after their season was abruptly halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Trail Blazers are finally returning to practice.

After taking the cross-country flight from Portland to Orlando on Thursday and then spending the next 36 to 48 hours under strict quarantine at their hotel on the Walt Disney World campus, the Trail Blazers will hold Saturday afternoon, their first since March, as they prepare for their eight-game restart schedule.

“I'm really looking forward to being a part of it, to be honest,” said Trail Blazers head coach Terry Stotts of the restart in Orlando.
