Chauncey Billups is starting five (5) rookies today: Scoot, Rupert, Murray, Camara, Reath

The Blazers are starting Scoot Henderson, Rayan Rupert, Kris Murray, Toumani Camara, and Duop Reath today, as Simons, Grant, Brogdon, Sharpe, Ayton, Thybulle, and Justin Minaya are all out today. This is only the second time since 1971 (when the stat began being tracked) that five rookies started an NBA game. The only other time this happened was the[ last game of the 2012 season](https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/7860736/golden-state-warriors-become-first-nba-team-modern-history-start-five-rookies), when the Warriors started Klay Thompson, Charles Jenkins, Chris Wright, Jeremy Tyler, and Mickell Gladness.

Wow!
Tanks for the information!
I’m excited to see a lot more of Rayan these last few weeks of the season
We have the best tank commander
This is like when Barca had an all-La Masia starting XI……….. right?
Lol Denver sitting Jokic and Murray and we’re like “watch this”
Good ol Mikell Gladness
Hopefully more than 1 of our 5 is a name that’s even remotely recognizable
Why.. tank you
Glad I got these tickets for free
Fun lil’ fact
Easy win.
are they also giving refunds to this long and increasingly unnecessarily suffering fanbase?
This is actually pretty cool. I hope they do something awesome!
I guess Jokic will be eating well tonight lmao.
2012 warriors huh? So 4 titles in the next 7 years?
Blazer dynasty coming soon
The last time a team started an All-Rookie lineup, they would go on to win the NBA championship 3 years later. Seems like destiny to me
Cheap family day out. 300 level were a buck
We’re organically tanking with all the injuries. Lol
Charles Jenkins, Chris Wright, Jeremy Tyler, and Mickell Gladness.
The fact that Simons, Grant, Brogdon, Sharpe, Ayton, Thybulle, and Minaya are out is a total and complete failure by the coaching staff. A team that needs to rest guys this often or gets injuries this often has something seriously wrong with it.
