"The Blazers hit a rough patch at the end of January, into February. Perhaps this past weekend's return of sophomore phenom Scoot Henderson will bring about a welcome change. That, and Deni Avdija unplugging for a week to heal his ailing back, completely ignorant to any glowing endorsements received from genocidal world leaders (god this has been a rugged season to be a Blazer fan)."
"Coming to town are the Philadelphia 76ers, whose young all-star guard Tyrese Maxey has taken another astronomical leap to potentially becoming an All-NBA player this season by scoring at all three levels, in addition to solid playmaking as a passer, and good positional defense. Combined with one of the best rookies in a stacked draft class in V.J. Edgecombe, the 76ers will have a formidable backcourt for years to come."
Portland's cultural calendar features a wide range of events this week, including concerts, film screenings, and community openings. The Portland Trail Blazers host the Philadelphia 76ers, with Scoot Henderson returning and the 76ers showcasing Tyrese Maxey, rookie V.J. Edgecombe, and Joel Embiid. Moss Week activities include Lewis & Clark College's EAR Forest and Portland Japanese Garden events, with a permanent 16-channel audio installation delivering Indigenous stories about moss and lichen and a Moss Appreciation Week drop-in from 12-4. Additional highlights include planetary chamber music, a bread-baking session with an Indigenous Argentine artist, a '90s anime sci-fi screening, a sauna on a sailboat, and an all-ages venue opening.
