What It Means:

While the extent of his knee injury is unclear, as well as when it occurred, there is a good chance the Blazers play it safe with Aminu and sit him out versus Utah with the All-Star break looming after Wednesday's game. Moe Harkless will likely see a heavy workload if Aminu does indeed sit this one out.

Harkless is projected, by numberFire's algorithms, for 11.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.5 three-pointers in 32.0 minutes on Wednesday.
