Trail Blazers' Duop Reath: Drops eight points in win
Reath registered eight points (4-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 11 minutes during Saturday's 141-88 victory over Charlotte.
Reath was inserted into the rotation, playing down the stretch as the Trail Blazers easily accounted for whatever it was the Hornets threw at them. While it is good to see Reath back on the court, there is no reason to think this is anything more than a cameo given he's only played twice in the last six games.

Trail Blazers' Jabari Walker: Double-doubles in win
Walker produced 20 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-10 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists and two steals across 26 minutes during Saturday's 141-88 victory over the Hornets.
Walker had his best game of the season, recording his first double-double and revisiting the form he flashed glimpses of last season. The game was essentially over at halftime, meaning Walker was able to see additional run down the stretch. While this caliber of performance isn't likely to be the norm going forward, there is a chance he could step into a larger role as the season draws to a close should the coaching staff opt to ease back on their starters.

Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Not playing Saturday
Williams (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Hornets, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
Williams continues to be in and out of the lineup this season -- this time due to left knee soreness -- and his next chance to suit up will be Monday against the Jazz. With Williams and Deandre Ayton (calf) both out, rookie Donovan Clingan will continue to serve as the Blazers' starting center.

Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Questionable Saturday
Williams (knee) has been listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Hornets.
Williams has been in and out of the lineup for the Trail Blazers throughout the entire 2024-25 campaign thus far, as he's dealt with injuries. The veteran big man could end up missing another game Saturday after being listed as questionable with left knee soreness. Rookie Donovan Clingan will likely continue to get more time on the floor if Williams cannot play against Charlotte.

Trail Blazers' Matisse Thybulle: Progressing to 3-on-3 drills
Head coach Chauncey Billups said Friday that Thybulle (ankle) has started doing some light 3-on-3 work, though he hasn't been cleared for any 5-on-5 action yet, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.
Thybulle has yet to make his season debut due to a right ankle injury, and Billups relayed that there is no clear timetable for his return, per Highkin. The 27-year-old swingman will likely require a significant ramp-up period before he's cleared to return to game action, and he can be considered week-to-week moving forward.

Trail Blazers' Scoot Henderson: Poor shooting in return Thursday
Henderson (ankle) finished Thursday's 110-102 loss to the Lakers with 12 points (4-13 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five assists, two rebounds and two steals across 30 minutes.
Henderson returned to the hardwood after missing the club's final outing before the All-Star break due to a right ankle sprain. The second-year pro saw significant run off the bench during his return, though he struggled from the field in the loss. Henderson continues to serve as a key contributor for Portland off the bench, and he has averaged 13.8 points, 5.3 assists, 3.3 rebounds, 2.1 three-pointers and 1.4 steals in 26.6 minutes per contest over his last 10 outings (two starts).

Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Solid defensive showing in loss
Williams (knee) closed Thursday's 110-102 loss to the Lakers with eight points (4-5 FG), six rebounds, two blocks, two steals and one assist over 25 minutes.
Williams returned to game action after missing the club's last two outings before the All-Star break due to right knee soreness. The big man was efficient while impacting both sides of the court, albeit in a losing effort. Williams recorded at least two steals and two blocks for the second time this season. Moreover, those two steals account for his most swipes in a game since Nov. 12, though the 27-year-old center has appeared in only 20 regular-season games due to a litany of injuries.

Trail Blazers' Shaedon Sharpe: Logs three triples in defeat
Sharpe chipped in 11 points (4-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt), two assists and one rebound over 21 minutes during Thursday's 110-102 loss to the Lakers.
Sharpe reached the double-digit mark in points for the sixth consecutive matchup Thursday. In that six-game span, the 21-year-old has averaged 15.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 25.5 minutes per contest. Despite some overall struggles shooting the rock, the third-year swingman was fairly efficient from beyond the arc against the Lakers, logging his 16th outing with three or more triples.

Trail Blazers' Jerami Grant: Three swipes in loss
Grant amassed three points (1-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three steals, two rebounds, two assists and one block across 30 minutes before fouling out of Thursday's 110-102 loss to the Lakers.
Grant put together an abysmal night from the field during his return from a two-game absence due to right knee soreness. However, the 30-year-old forward did tie his season-high mark in steals before fouling out. Over his last five outings, Grant has averaged 12.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.8 three-pointers, 1.4 steals and 1.0 blocks across 35.6 minutes per contest.

Trail Blazers' Anfernee Simons: Shooting woes in defeat
Simons supplied eight points (3-13 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 2-5 FT), ]seven assists, four rebounds and one steal across 29 minutes during Thursday's 110-102 loss to the Lakers.
Simons led the Trail Blazers in assists Thursday, though he couldn't find his rhythm from the field, failing to hit a three-pointer for the sixth time this year. The 25-year-old snapped a seven-game streak reaching the double-digit mark in points, and he has struggled a bit with efficiency of late. Over his last 10 outings, Simons has averaged 18.6 points and 6.2 assists across 32.9 minutes per game. He has shot 41.9 percent from the field in that 10-game span.

Trail Blazers' Donovan Clingan: Modest totals in defeat
Clingan totaled six points (3-4 FG), six rebounds, three blocks and one steal across 17 minutes during Thursday's 110-102 loss to the Lakers.
Deandre Ayton's (calf) injury will keep the center out for at least a month, so the starting job will be Clingan's to lose. Robert Williams also waits in the wings, but the Trail Blazers should probably prioritize Clingan's development. This may be his time to come into his own as a full-time starter. The rookie center will still be a risky fantasy call in the short term, but it's worthwhile to monitor his progress as he settles into a larger role.

Trail Blazers' Toumani Camara: Posts 19 points in loss
Camara amassed 19 points (7-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and five steals over 38 minutes during Thursday's 110-102 loss to the Lakers.
Despite some modest single-digit scoring results, Camara's become a more consistent source of production for the Trail Blazers over the past two months, and his steady rebounding has also been a great asset to the team. The Dayton product is currently averaging 10.3 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.5 steals during his second season with Portland.

Trail Blazers' Deni Avdija: Scores team-high 28 points
Avdija finished Thursday's 110-102 loss to the Lakers with 28 points (9-14 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 8-10 FT), four rebounds, five assists and two steals in 34 minutes.
Avdija has topped the Trail Blazers' box scores often enough, but the roster is one of the most volatile in the league. Identifying the top producer for Portland is a difficult task, as the squad has explosive potential at almost every position. During Thursday's loss, limited production from Anfernee Simons and Jerami Grant allowed Avdija to take over.

Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Green light to play Thursday
Williams (knee) is available for Thursday's game against the Lakers, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.
The veteran big man will fight off knee soreness and suit up for the Trail Blazers on Thursday. Williams should serve as starter Donovan Clingan's top backup at center. Over his last eight games (two starts), Williams averaged 4.1 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.9 blocks and 1.0 assists in 18.0 minutes.
