PORTLAND (KDVR) — The Portland Trailblazers introduced Chauncey Billups as the next coach of their basketball team Tuesday afternoon.
The organization immediately addressed sexual assault allegations from 1997 in the press conference, but took no follow-up questions regarding their own investigation.
