Entering the 2020-21 NBA season, the Portland Trail Blazers had a ton of expectations and were expected to be a team that competes for the top-seed in the Western Conference. While they still have the potential to be a great team and potentially make a run in the postseason, injuries have crippled their chances to maximize on their potential success. 

C.J. McCollum has been out since mid-January after suffering a broken foot and starting center Jusuf Nurkic has been out since mid-January with a broken wrist. Not to mention, Zach Collins has not played a single game yet this year due to an ankle injury and numerous players have been in and out of the lineup for Portland with various injuries. 

Enes Kanter is the only player that has played in all 38 games for the Portland Trail Blazers to this point in the season and while they are currently one of the better teams in the Western Conference, they really need everyone back and healthy if they are to make a real run in the postseason.

With plenty of injuries in their frontcourt and them struggling as a rebounding team, the Blazers could very much look to add another frontcourt option like Aaron Gordon to their roster.
