No doubt about it, the past 72 hours for the Portland Trail Blazers were nothing short of miserable. A loss at the buzzer at the hands of Furkan Korkmaz was followed by an embarrassing defeat against the injury-ridden Golden State Warriors. Then, with the Blazers also nursing injury scares to Rodney Hood and Hassan Whiteside, the results of Zach Collins‘ surgery came back and, if we’re being honest, it feels like worse-case scenario.
Not back in four months, but ‘re-evaluated’. With this timeline taking us right up the beginning of the playoffs, Portland fans should do themselves a favor, and assume we won’t be seeing Collins again this season — no way around it, that sucks.
