Deprived of Damian Lillard for six to eight weeks, the Trail Blazers will record the return of CJ McCollum soon. The Athletic reports that the fullback, who has missed Portland’s last 17 games with a pneumothorax, is expected to return Monday for the game against the Magic. Chauncey Billups was hesitating between Saturday in Washington and Monday in Orlando, so it will be for MLK Day.
” He is very well, even if he probably does not have much rest at the moment. Billups explained, referring to the birth of the McCollum couple’s first child, a baby boy.
It’s a timely comeback for the Blazers, who have won only 3 of their last 10 games. Without “Lady”, McCollum should see his offensive responsibilities increase tenfold and his presence will take the pressure off the hands of young Anfernee Simons, very prominent lately.
