Anthony played 20 minutes in the Blazers’ last game, a thrilling overtime victory against Houston on Saturday. The former 10-time All-Star has come off the bench in each of the team’s first two games this season, shooting 7-for-21 and scoring 20 total points.

Little, taken 25th in the 2019 Draft, has yet to play this season due to undisclosed reasons.
