Sean Highkin: FWIW, Chauncey Billups said today that Eric Bledsoe—who, again, didn’t miss a game or appear on a single injury report with the Clippers—didn’t participate in practice due to the Achilles injury listed on the Saturday injury report. The trade deadline is in 3 days,. I asked Bledsoe directly if he thinks he’ll still be here after Thursday. His response: “It’s up in the air. I’m being professional. Come in and do my job like I always have, see where it goes.”

Eric Bledsoe, who hasn’t missed a game this season, is being held out tonight with “left Achilles tendinopathy.” A separate fact that may or may not be related: due to his contract, Bledsoe is the most likely of the new guys to be flipped before Thursday. – 9:36 PM

Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer on new Blazer Eric Bledsoe: “Great guy. I love Bled. Really special human being. An incredible defender. An elite, elite-level defender. I think they’re getting a very good player. He’s one of my favorite people. I love him.” – 8:40 PM

Chauncey Billups says there’s no word yet on whether the three new guys will be able to play. Still waiting on league approval. Even once it’s final Keon Johnson would be out with an ankle injury. The other two (Winslow+Bledsoe) Billups says he’ll play if he has them. – 8:20 PM

Clippers don’t list Norman Powell or Robert Covington on injury report.
For what it’s worth, Trail Blazers listed Eric Bledsoe, Justise Winslow, and Keon Johnson as questionable for tonight vs Bucks despite also being listed as “not with team” – 8:16 PM

More on this storyline
The Trail Blazers have acquired guards Eric Bledsoe and Keon Johnson and forward Justise Winslow from the LA Clippers in exchange for Norman Powell and Robert Covington, the team announced today. Portland also received Detroit’s 2025 second-round pick from the Clippers in the trade. -via NBA.com / February 4, 2022
Law Murray: This trade is not necessarily a move that suggests that Jason Preston would be ready to contribute anytime soon, league source says. Team has open roster spots and will continue to look to tinker with the roster. Team has a surplus of wings right now. -via Twitter @LawMurrayTheNU / February 4, 2022
