Roster update: The Blazers' attorney told them Thursday afternoon that all five players with immigration problems would be approved to play tonight. But that word isn't official until the team receives notification by immigration authorities. So, the Blazers submitted an 18-man roster without those five players by the 6 p.m. deadline Thursday. The roster might be changed before tonight's game.
