The Portland Trail Blazers play the Sacramento Kings tonight for the fourth game of their preseason schedule, which means Anfernee Simons will get another rep starting alongside franchise star Damian Lillard.
In a recent piece, Oregon Live reporter Aaron Fentress wrote how the preseason has served as an adjustment period for Simons as he adapts to a sidekick role.
Last season, the fourth-year guard exploded onto the scene in January as Portland’s No. 1 option after injuries and trades opened up opportunity. Now this October, with Lillard back in the lineup, Simons must play second-in-command.
