CJ McCollum

G, Portland Trail Blazers

C.J. McCollum (left ankle sprain) will not play on Thursday night.

McCollum is banged up and the Blazers draw the Suns tonight, so it's not a bad excuse to get him an extra night of rest. This should open up more usage for Damian Lillard and Jusuf Nurkic, while players like Nik Stauskas and Seth Curry will probably be the winners in terms of extra playing time. Expect Evan Turner's playmaking to take on added importance as well.
