Portland Trail Blazers wing Josh Hart has asked fans to be patient with the roster after a less than ideal preseason.
The Blazers won their only preseason game against Israeli club Maccabi Ra’anana with losses to the Los Angeles Clippers, Utah Jazz, Sacramento Kings and Golden State Warriors.
Hart, who was this week announced as the team’s starting small forward, said the new group was still working things a week before the start of the season.
The Blazers are introducing three new starters in Anfernee Simons, Hart and Jerami Grant, when compared to the lineup that started the 2021-22 season.
