The Portland Trail Blazers will likely start guard CJ McCollum Tuesday against New Orleans for the first time since he broke his left foot Jan. 16 against Atlanta.
McCollum, not listed on the team’s injury report Monday, which means he is cleared to play, returns just in time to help the Blazers navigate a rough schedule that kicks into high gear this week with a five-game homestand against New Orleans (17-22), Dallas (20-18) and Brooklyn (27-13).
