After the All-Star break, the Portland Trail Blazers resumed practice on Tuesday in order to get ready for their home game against the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday at 7 p.m.
Robert Williams III, Jerami Grant, and Scoot Henderson were all on the court, which was encouraging because all three were on the team’s injury list going into the break.
According to Blazers coach Chauncey Billups, if all three are healthy for Wednesday’s practice, he expects them to play against the Lakers.
Billups stated, “We’ll check to see if they’re sore or anything.” But we exerted a lot of effort. We did a terrific job of pursuing it.
Keep Matisse Thybulle safe.
According to Billups, Tisse engaged in non-contact activities. Our day went well.

Henderson missed Wednesday’s loss to the Nuggets after spraining his right ankle during a game against Denver on February 10. Before the break, he was listed as day-to-day.
Williams and Grant missed both games in Denver due to discomfort in their right knees.
Center Deandre Ayton sustained a left calf injury Wednesday against Denver that will keep him out of action for at least three more weeks.
