Trail Blazers rookie forward Nassir Little will see his first action Tuesday vs. the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Trail Blazers final scrimmage after being sidelined with a concussion.
Head coach Terry Stotts announced the news on Rip City Mornings with Dan Sheldon and Nigel Burton.
Terry Stotts tells us Nassir Little will play for the Blazers today for the first time in the bubble.
Damian Lillard's availability for today's scrimmage is still to be determined later this morning.

Little entered concussion protocol on July 20 after hitting his head on the court during practice.
This season, Little has appeared in 48 games, starting five. He's averaged 3.6 points and 2.3 rebounds in 11.9 minutes.
Little's workload will be light, but he could see more action with Rodney Hood sidelined with an Achilles injury and Trevor Ariza opting out of playing in the NBA's return for personal reasons. Gary Trent and Mario Hezonja will be competing for the primary backup duties at small forward behind Carmelo Anthony.
The Trail Blazers final scrimmage tips off at 3pm, with coverage beginning at 2:30pm on NBCSNW.
