Injuries have decimated the Portland Trail Blazers in 2019-20. Jusuf Nurkic entered the season unable to play. Zach Collins fell three games into the campaign. This week the Blazers lost Rodney Hood to an Achilles tear. A team once hoping to make a second straight run deep into the playoffs now faces a legitimate struggle just to make the bracket in a crowded Western Conference. Unsurprisingly, these topics are dominating submissions to the Blazers’ Edge Mailbag this week, including this one.
Dave,
As resident online historian of the team I want you to answer a question.
