Nigerian star Al-Farouq Aminu played his first National Basketball Association (NBA) game for the Portland Trail Blazers after a long lay-off in Friday morning’s 91-103 defeat to the Milwaukee Bucks and his coach Terry Stotts is delighted to have ‘the Chief’ back in his squad.
D’Tigers star Aminu returned to action after missing 13 games with a sprained right ankle to finish with six points and five rebounds in 22 minutes in his ninth NBA game of the season.
Nigerian-born Greek star Giannis Antetokounmpo starred for Milwaukee in the win, contributing 20 points, nine assists and three steals.
The Portland Trail Blazers will hope to bounce back to winning ways when they host the New Orleans Pelicans Saturday night at the Moda Center.
