Gameday Thread: Charlotte Hornets vs. Portland Trail Blazers

Welcome to the Gameday Open Thread at Blazer’s Edge! This is a place to hang out and enjoy tonight’s festivities with your fellow fans. Treat it as if you’re watching a game at the local watering hole, but hopefully without the language. Expect some disagreements, and a fair amount of changing emotions. But we'll get through it together.

Injury update: Nicolas Batum will miss tonight's game due to a right knee contusion. His return date is unknown. Allen Crabbe has been activated in his place, and it's reported that Crabbe will start in place of Nic.

Hearing #Blazers will start someone unexpected vs. Hornets in place of the injured Nicolas Batum: Allen Crabbe.
