The Portland Trail Blazers reworked their roster going into the 2026-27 season. This includes intriguing depth and a new-look frontcourt that fans have been waiting for.
Uncertainty surrounded Portland’s starting lineup. A room full of guards, including Damian Lillard, Jrue Holiday, and Ja Morant, left first-year head coach Micah Nori with no choice but to bench one of them.
NBA insider Chris Haynes said Morant will be included in the starting lineup. With this news, it appears that Jrue Holiday will fill the sixth-man role.
Let’s take a look at the highly anticipated Trail Blazers starting lineup for Wednesday’s season opener against the Phoenix Suns.
