The Portland Trail Blazers end their preseason schedule Friday night at home against the Utah Jazz.
The 2-1 Blazers start the regular season Wednesday at home against the Golden State Warriors.
The injury status for a few players remains up in the air.
The availability of Anfernee Simons (right ankle soreness), Jabari Walker (ankle soreness) and Matisse Thybulle (right knee soreness) is unknown. He has yet to play this preseason.
The Blazers have had a relatively successful season, but several key players have had limited time playing together because of injuries.
Maybe some of that changes Friday night.
