Paul Coro of the Arizona Republic reports that the Suns will open their season in Portland although no date is specified.
The Suns will open their 2010-11 regular season at Portland, their first-round playoff victim from April, and start their home schedule against the Los Angeles Lakers, who knocked them out in the conference finals in May.
