PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -Portland Trail Blazers owner Paul Allen has issued a statement proclaiming his support of general manager Kevin Pritchard as rumors fly concerning Pritchard’s future with the team.
Last week, the Blazers fired Tom Penn, Portland’s vice president of basketball operations, touching off speculation that perhaps Pritchard was next.
Allen remained silent on the matter until Thursday, when he put out a statement saying that the team made a decision concerning Penn, “and that’s all.”
Allen says he supports everyone who works for him, including Pritchard. He says that everyone in the organization has the same goal of bringing an NBA championship to Portland.
