3 years agoPortland Trail Blazers power forward/center Larry Nance Jr. (knee) has been ruled out for the next week after departing Wednesday's contest early due to a knee ailment. Nance underwent an MRI that showed no significant damage, but his knee issue will keep him sidelined for at least the team's next four contests. Robert Covington stands to either reclaim his starting spot or, at minimum, see an uptick in usage in the frontcourt. With Damian Lillard (abdominal) and C.J. McCollum (lung) also sidelined for the time being, Norman Powell, Anfernee Simons, and Jusuf Nurkic have enormous offensive upsides, beginning with Friday's contest vs. Cleveland.--Jesse Borek
