I’m not sure what’s getting smaller in a quicker way, the Portland Trail Blazers’ chances of a successful season, or the average height of healthy players on their roster. Following Skal Labissiere’s latest knee injury, both seem to be plummeting at an astonishing rate.
Skal was named in the starting five for the first time this season against the Lakers on Saturday night, but lasted just 2 minutes, as he limped off with a left knee problem.
The results have since come back in, and Skal won’t play a part in Portland’s upcoming 5-game road trip — the injury has been stated as “left knee inflammation”, per Casey Holdahl.
