Trail Blazers' Shabazz Napier: Doesn't play Tuesday in coach's decision
Napier didn't appear in Tuesday's 113-104 season-opening win over the Jazz in a coach's decision.
Analysis:
Napier had been dealing with an ankle issue heading into last weekend, but since he was left off the injury report prior to the opener, it appears safe to say he's reasonably healthy. As the fourth man on the depth chart at point guard behind Damian Lillard, C.J. McCollum and Evan Turner, Napier isn't expected to play in most competitive games unless one of the players ahead of him succumbs to an injury.
