An NBA fan complained in the Trail Blazers’ X/Twitter comment section that an injured player was ruining his parlay.
The official team account responded with a screenshot to a gambling help hotline.
On Tuesday, guard Anfernee Simons went to the locker room in the first quarter of a 122–108 win over the Timberwolves on the first night of the NBA Emirates Cup.
“He was experiencing a little shortness of breath kind of out of nowhere,” Blazers coach Chauncey Billups said after the game. “And we wanted to be extra cautious, obviously.” Billups said Simons underwent initial testing that turned up normal, but the team will run further tests Wednesday.
The Trail Blazers account posted an update that Simons had a chest injury and would not return to the game.
