Players to watch
Ja Morant headlines the Blazers' offseason transformation. The two-time All-Star was acquired from the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for Jerami Grant and Kris Murray, giving Portland an explosive playmaker who averaged 21.2 points per game with Memphis.
Damian Lillard returns to the lineup after missing the entire 2025-26 season with an Achilles injury. The franchise cornerstone and seven-time All-Star brings leadership and clutch scoring to a roster brimming with backcourt talent.
Deni Avdija emerged as an All-Star-caliber wing, providing Portland with size, versatility, and defensive intensity on the perimeter. His development has been a bright spot during the rebuild.
Shaedon Sharpe continues to grow as a dynamic scoring guard, while Scoot Henderson enters his fourth season looking to solidify his role in a suddenly crowded backcourt. Donovan Clingan anchors the frontcourt as the Blazers' rim-protecting center, and veteran Jrue Holiday brings championship pedigree to the backcourt rotation.
First-year head coach Micah Nori, hired after an extensive search, faces the challenge of distributing minutes and touches among a guard-heavy roster that is deep on talent but still finding its identity.
