I don't think Josh will be seeing game action anytime soon. Like I posted earlier, he just returned to practice. He was in a book until a month ago and he hasn't fully tested his ankle at game speed yet.
Here's an excerpt from a recent article in The Columbian:
Now the wait is for McRoberts to be ready to get into a game, which may still be a ways off.
The 6-foot-10 forward was placed on the Blazers' inactive list for Wednesday's home opener against New Orleans after sitting out practice since Oct. 3. McRoberts said the time off has left him with a lot of catch-up work to learn the Blazers' offensive and defensive schemes.
"It's kind of like if you miss a lot of school and then you come back and you've got to take the test," McRoberts said. "So that's kind of where I'm at right now, that kid in the back of the room. I know a little bit, but I'm trying to figure out more. I'll be able to catch up pretty quick. I'm studying all the plays, watching film."
