Since we learned that CJ McCollum had suffered a pneumothorax in his right lung, days have passed without an update on his condition. We knew what had happened to him and that he would not play indefinitely, but nothing more. Now, a week later, Portland updates the situation of his escort, emphasizing that he is better.
To be exact, the Oregon organization points out that McCollum continues to show improvement in his recovery and that he will adhere to the protocol established by the medical services, which includes light conditioning; that is, their return to action will be gradual and slow.
Regarding when we can know more exactly how long he will be out, the franchise reveals that they will re-evaluate the status of their player next week and that for the moment he will remain in Portland and will not accompany the team on their road trip .
His absence has certainly come at a very delicate time for the Blazers. His loss, coupled with that caused by Damian Lillard until recently, has plunged the team into a losing streak that is defined by nine losses in the last ten games and their fall to eleventh place in the Western Conference.
