The 2022-23 NBA season is officially right around the corner and this week, the Portland Trail Blazers took the next step in that process, kickstarting Day One of training camp. As is to be anticipated, excitement was in the air, as well as the need to shake off some rust from the long offseason.
In providing takeaways from the opening day, Blazers star Damian Lillard and head coach Chauncey Billups were in mutual agreement that the need to “get acclimated” and overcome sloppy play were among the key thoughts, as told in a column today by Aaron Fentress of Oregon Live.
