The Portland Trail Blazers were off to a strong start to the 2025-26 season, looking to carry over the momentum from the strong finish to last year. That was put to an abrupt halt thanks to a combination of a demanding schedule and, most significantly, untimely injuries.
Spotrac's NBA injury tracker ranks the Blazers ninth in cash total per day missed at $12.5 million, showing how much value they've lost and the adversity they've had to overcome.
As a result of those injuries, interim head coach Tiago Splitter has relied on two-way players Sidy Cissoko and Caleb Love.
