Fri Oct 18 04:10:00 UTC 2024: ## Bol Bol Benched for Thursday’s Preseason Game Against Lakers
**PORTLAND, OR** – Bol Bol will not start Thursday’s preseason game against the Los Angeles Lakers, according to a recent announcement. Despite an impressive performance in Sunday’s game against the Denver Nuggets, where he tallied 14 points, eight rebounds, and an assist in 28 minutes, Bol will return to his usual role on the bench.
Jusuf Nurkic will take over the starting center position for Thursday’s game.
Bol’s strong showing against the Nuggets had led some to believe he might earn a permanent starting spot, but it seems the Portland Trail Blazers coaching staff has opted for a more experienced presence in Nurkic for the Lakers matchup.
