It looks like Blazer fans can breathe a sigh of relief.
Reserve guard Rodney Hood has reportedly received a clean structural bill of health on his hyper-extended knee and is considered day-to-day:

That’s not to say that he’ll be ready for Game 1 against Golden State, but it’s good news that there was no structural damage. Joe Freeman has some more info:
