Player Updates Overview

Zach Collins (left shoulder dislocation) reiterated that he expects to be medically cleared when the Blazers resume practicing.

Advice: “I haven’t been officially cleared, Collins said. "But in talking to trainers about how I feel and what I’m able to do, everybody is on same page that I should be able to do everything with no issues." It will be interesting to see how coach Terry Stotts deploys Collins and Jusuf Nurkic (leg), in a frontcourt that had been starting Hassan Whiteside and Carmelo Anthony. Rotoworld.com 40 minutes ago

Andrew Bogut is open to returning to the NBA.

Advice: "I had NBA offers right before the COVID-19 pandemic, where I was potentially going to go back after the NBL season," he said. "[E]specially halfway through the season when the buyout and trade season comes up. It saves me having to spend the whole season over there and I can kind of join someone late, like I did with the Warriors last time. [I] can try to make a playoff run and then let that phase into the Olympics. I still think I've got a little bit of fuel left in the tank." It's certainly possible the 35-year-old Bogut might earn a spot on a playoff roster. Rotoworld.com Today, 10:27 am

Darius Bazley (right knee bone bruise) was seen recently playing a pickup game in OKC.

Advice: Bazley was expected to miss 4-6 weeks back on Feb. 10, so it stands to reason that he's fully recovered. He was averaging just 17.2 minutes per game, scoring 4.5 points on 38.3% FGs and 68.1% FTs, so there was never any fantasy value. Rotoworld.com Today, 10:26 am
