NBA professional basketball team season
The 2019–20 Portland Trail Blazers season was the franchise's 50th season in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Trail Blazers entered the season following a playoff defeat from the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference finals.
The season was suspended by the league officials following the games of March 11[1] after it was reported that Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19 .[2]
On June 4, the Trail Blazers were one of 22 teams invited to the NBA Bubble .
On August 15, the Trail Blazers clinched the 8th seed after defeating the Memphis Grizzlies in a play-in game. With the Blazers clinching a playoff berth, this was the 3rd consecutive season where 4 of 5 teams in the Northwest Division clinched the playoffs.
Despite their first losing season since the 2012–13 season , the Trail Blazers were tied at 7 seasons with the defending champion Toronto Raptors with the 2nd most active playoff streak behind the Houston Rockets .
The Trail Blazers faced off against the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round of the playoffs , marking the first meeting between the two teams in the playoffs since 2002 . Despite a strong Game 1 victory, Damian Lillard was forced to leave the bubble after suffering a right knee injury in Game 4, and the Trail Blazers lost the series in 5 games. Like in 2002, the Lakers went on to win the championship.
