The Portland Trail Blazers are finalizing their training camp roster for next season.

Before the ramp-up period, the Blazers released former Los Angeles Lakers forward Blake Hinson, who played on the Lakers' Summer League roster.

In other news, guard Damian Lillard shared his expected return schedule, pointing to next season as a realistic goal.

Given his age and the wear on his body, aiming for next season makes sense, as the injury occurred only a few months ago.
