It’s been a rough couple weeks for Blazers fans. Jusuf Nurkic will be out for at least eight weeks with a broken wrist and news broke on Monday night that CJ McCollum would be out about four weeks with a broken foot.
For a team with preseason ambitions of a deep playoff run these two injuries are a devastating blow. Especially given how well McCollum had played to start the season.
Can the rest of the roster hold down the fort?
Unfortunately, the Blazers’ problems this season run deeper than injuries to McCollum and Nurkic.
