Blazers interim head coach Alex Mortensen , who took over when Trent Dilfer was fired in October, shared the good news while speaking with the media Monday afternoon.

"I've had the opportunity to sit with our injured players and their families, and they are okay with me telling you that they have left the hospital and are recovering," the coach said.
