The Portland Trail Blazers held shootaround Wednesday morning at Talking Stick Resort Arena in preparation for tonight’s game versus the Phoenix Suns (tipoff scheduled for 7 pm on Rip City Radio 620 AM). Some notes from shootaround…
• After starting the first four games of Portland’s preseason schedule, center Jusuf Nurkiu0107 will sit out Wednesday’s contest with a concussion suffered during Monday night’s victory versus the Kings in Sacramento. The injury occurred in the second quarter, when Kings forward Jack Cooley elbowed Nurkiu0107 in the face while flailing in order to sell a foul call (which he got).
