Now @Chris Haynes is reporting that Damian Lillard will be back for Blazers vs. Heat tonight, after missing four games after being injured Oct. 26 vs. Heat. So that questionable seemingly has turned to probable or better. – 3:11 PM

I can’t think of a more out-of-the-blue coaching hire than the Colts hiring Jeff Saturday among Indiana’s pro or major college teams. @Indiana Pacers, Purdue, IU, Notre Dame…does anything come close to this? Maybe when Gerry Faust was hired at Notre Dame, but at least he had been a HC – 1:03 PM

The Portland Trail Blazers upset the Phoenix Suns, 108-106 on Friday night without the services of Damian Lillard and Anfernee Simons. They will have to work that same magic Saturday night at Phoenix because both star guards will be out again, a source has told The Oregonian/OregonLive. Lillard remains out with a right calf strain. Simons is out with foot inflammation. -via Oregonian / November 5, 2022
