CJ McCollum

SG, Portland Trail Blazers

C.J. McCollum is still nursing a vertebral fracture in his back but is expected play in Game 1 against the Lakers on Tuesday.

McCollum looked fantastic in the play-in game against the Grizzlies on Saturday in 44 minutes of action. He revealed that he only had to change the way he sleeps in the last couple weeks but other than that he is a proven warrior and the Blazers will only go as far as he can go.
