The Trail Blazers acquired Joe Ingles, Elijah Hughes and Memphis' 2022 second-round draft pick from Utah in a three-team trade that sends Nickeil Alexander-Walker to the Jazz and Tomáš Satoranský to San Antonio, the team announced today.
The trade deadline ends tomorrow afternoon, and the Trail Blazers are a very different looking team because of it. On Feb. 4, the Blazers traded Norman Powell and Robert Covington to the Clippers in exchange for Eric Bledsoe, Justice Winslow and Keon Johnson.
LeBron missed the Feb. 2 showdown, but the last time LeBron faced the Blazers on New Year's Eve, he lit up the scoreboard with a season-high 43 points on 16-of-26 shooting from the field and grabbed 14 rebounds in just 29 minutes. Without James in the most recent matchup, Anthony Davis took over and dominated the court for a double-double of his own (30 pts, 15 reb).
LeBron extended his streak of 25-plus points to 20 consecutive games after 27 points last night. James hit 11-of-19 from the field and added eight assists and five rebounds.
Welcome to one more night of NBA, in today's game we will see two teams with a very irregular season that despite not having the best numbers are still looking to get into the Playoffs, no doubt today's game could be a watershed in the season that is coming to an end.
