The Portland Trail Blazers are paying tribute to basketball legend Rick Adelman with a season-long jersey patch honoring his legacy from 2026 to 2027. Adelman, who passed away at 79, was a Hall of Famer and foundational figure in franchise history — playing on the first Blazers team in 1970 and later coaching them to NBA Finals glory in 1990 and 1992. A special game against the Denver Nuggets on December 15th at Moda Center will celebrate his life, leadership, and enduring impact, blending on-court homage with community remembrance. Known for his integrity and kindness, Adelman’s influence transcends stats — the team vows his spirit will live on through every jersey worn this season. Details for the tribute game and ticket info are coming soon via the official Trail Blazers website.
