Potter popped up on the injury report on October 17 with an illness, listed as day-to-day. The estimated return date is October 21, the same day Portland opens the regular season against the Suns. That makes him a true game-time question. He got into both of the Blazers' recent preseason games, scoring 13 points with 6 rebounds in 13 minutes against Golden State on October 7, then 2 points and 3 rebounds in 9.2 minutes against Sacramento on October 13. Both games were Portland wins.
