Blazers weighing at least three candidates after broadcaster firing

The Portland Trail Blazers are considering at least three candidates for their open television play-by-play announcer role, according to sportswriter Dwight Jaynes. Chris Miles of NBA TV, Kyle Draper of the Sacramento Kings, and Matt Winer of the Atlanta Hawks are reportedly in the running to fill the position.

The search resumed after the Blazers hired and fired Braiden Bell on the same day following the emergence of past offensive social media posts. Although Bell hired legal counsel seeking reinstatement, the franchise confirmed it stands by its dismissal decision.
