The Portland Trail Blazers on Monday released their preseason schedule for the 2019-20 season and it will include five games over 10 days.

The Blazers open their exhibition slate on Oct. 8, with a throwback game against the Denver Nuggets at Veterans Memorial Coliseum. It will begin a yearlong celebration of the franchise’s 50th season in the NBA.

The Blazers, who played at the venerable arena from 1970-95, will unveil a special 50th anniversary court for the throwback game, which will feature a host of “franchise firsts" throughout the evening.
