(Jamal) Crawford and coach Nate McMillan said before tipoff that Crawford would play. But at the last second, according to a source close to the situation, all parties — the Blazers, Crawford and Miller — decided it was best for Crawford to sit. Crawford, who was not available for comment after the game, has been playing with right knee tendinitis in recent games and the sides did not want to risk an injury with a near-certain trade in the works, the source said.
