C.J. McCollum Goes Through Practice on Saturday

Portland Trail Blazers guard C.J. McCollum (ankle) was able to go through practice on Saturday. There's a chance that McCollum gets back on the court for Sunday's game against the Indiana Pacers.

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Rich Hill (elbow) said that he is scheduled to start baseball activities next week, and he's aiming to return in early June.
