Trail Blazers' Ish Wainright: Rehabbing in G League

The Trail Blazers assigned Wainright (knee) to the G League's Rip City Remix on Monday.

With the Trail Blazers on the road for Monday's game versus the Clippers, Wainright is presumably joining the G League affiliate to participate in practice as he takes the next step forward in his recovery from a left MCL sprain. The injury has kept Wainright sidelined since Nov. 15, but the 29-year-old big man could soon be ready for game action once he gets a few practices under his belt. Once Wainright is deemed fully healthy, however, he may not have a regular spot in coach Chauncey Billups' rotation.
