“An apology of any form would have been nice. It probably is the right thing to do,” he tweeted.

Two Blazers were sent to the hospital on Tuesday evening – namely Jimboy Pasturan and Taine Davis. Eventually, the two were discharged in the wee hours of Wednesday.

Currently, the Blazers are 10-3 in the standings – good for second. And they are aiming for the top seed.
