You should go out of your way to visit Nathan at How Convenient on 60th and Glisan! Sundries, wine, cards, books, snacks, jewelry?... yes to all! The City should also be doing more to help micro businesses like How Convenient that are re-invigorating vacant commercial storefronts ❤️

Splitter on Scoot: "He's progressing. Everybody's a little frustrated, but it's a tough injury where people tend to have a second injury. So we've got to be careful with him. He's a big part of our franchise, so we've got to protect him. He's feeling better day by day."
Scoot Henderson was running full-court sprints at the end of practice today. Tiago Splitter says he’s improving but they’re trying to be careful and avoid re-injury.
