Micah Nori Discusses Rotation Plan for Preseason Opener

Portland Trail Blazers head coach Micah Nori outlined his rotation strategy ahead of Wednesday's preseason opener against the Golden State Warriors at Moda Center. Nori plans to utilize a normal minutes rotation in the first half before limiting main rotation players to a single stint in the second half. Most primary players are expected to log between 18 and 20 minutes of action.

While Nori noted he has a clear idea of Wednesday's starting five, he cautioned against reading too much into the selection. He indicated the team will likely experiment with different starting combinations across the preseason schedule, particularly with an upcoming back-to-back set on October 12-13.
