    Last I read on him was back on November 4th. Anything more recent released locally in Portland?

    I asked our sideline reporter Brooke tonight. She said they're not rushing him and they are resting him to be ready for playoffs.

    Not rushing him back from what? Dude is approaching a torn ACL recovery timeline. I wouldn't be surprised if he never plays for Portland and is used as a contract to trade.

    If I had to guess, I'd be surprised if he played this season.

    Or if he does come back in the last third of the season, is that enough time to get in basketball shape and carve out a meaningful role? Im not going to hold my breath.

    they'll have to improve their play if they want to even make the playoffs. And what good does it do them to save him for 4 games?

    Hopefully, we get there

    A big reason they beat us. We nearly had their number, but Ezeli beasted us...took our momentum

    in his previous 2 years with the Warriors he played 46 regular season games each yr, even with time out for injury recovery, so they did not "rest" him that much. The "no news" scenario IMO is not a good sign, hope I am wrong as we BADLY need him

    He and Oden were seen playing Dance Dance Revolution down at the 24 hour fitness.

    Quick was asked by Festus not to ask about it because apparently he himself doesn't know.

    Sounds to me like we're counting on him? Which scares me a little.

    It's all part of the master plan. Portland scrapes by into the #8 Playoff seed, then shocks the world by turning Uncle Festus loose on his former team in a 4-0 series sweep for the Blazers.
