Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups will miss the next two games following the death of his grandmother.

The team confirmed that assistant Nate Bjorkgren will coach Thursday night’s home game against the Utah Jazz and Saturday’s home date with the Philadelphia 76ers.

The Blazers (9-20) have lost two straight games and eight of their last nine.

Billups, 48, is in his fourth season as Portland’s head coach and owns an overall record of 90-185.

A five-time All-Star over 17 seasons as a player, Billups was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in October.
