ANFERNEE SIMONS NEWS

Out again Wednesday Simons (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Oklahoma City.

Impact Simons' next opportunity to take the court comes in a back-to-back set versus Houston on Friday and Saturday, although such scheduling is not conducive to a player looking to return from an illness/breathing issue. Toumani Camara has been heavily leaned on across Portland's last three games, playing no fewer than 35 minutes in each. Dalano Banton has also logged at least 24 minutes in each contest over that span.

Iffy for Wednesday vs. OKC Simons (illness) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.

Impact Simons is in jeopardy of missing his third consecutive game due to an illness, though he was considered doubtful before Sunday's game, so the questionable tag is a positive sign. If the 25-year-old is unable to play, Scoot Henderson will likely remain in the starting five.

Won't play Sunday Simons (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Impact Simons experienced shortness of breath during the Trail Blazers' win over the Timberwolves on Tuesday. He was able to return to practice Saturday, but he'll be held out for a second straight game, and his next chance to suit up will be against the Thunder on Wednesday, Nov. 20. Scoot Henderson should make his second straight start with Simons sidelined Sunday.

Will not play Wednesday Simons (illness) will not play Wednesday versus Minnesota.

Impact Simons became visibly shaken in the first quarter of Monday's contest versus Minnesota, dropping to a squat and appearing to be disoriented while standing on the perimeter mid-play.

Out for remainder of game Simons will not return to Tuesday's game versus the Timberwolves due to a chest injury.

Impact Simons tallied two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound in five minutes before exiting Tuesday's contest early. Although initial reports view Simons' injury as a hand issue, it now appears to be a chest issue. The 25-year-old guard's status for Wednesday's rematch with Minnesota is uncertain.

Exits to locker room Simons went back to the locker room in the first quarter with an apparent right hand injury, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.

Impact Portland's medical staff appeared to check Simons' right hand before he went back to the locker room early in the matchup. If the 25-year-old is unable to return, Scoot Henderson and Dalano Banton are candidates for an increased role the rest of the way.

Woeful in loss to Memphis Simons registered four points (2-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 19 minutes during Sunday's 134-89 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Simons had his worst game of the season Sunday, and even though his numbers had been trending in the wrong direction of late, he reached a new low in this one, missing seven of his nine shots and failing to do much in other categories. Simons should remain one of the Trail Blazers' most reliable options on offense, however, and he'll aim to bounce back when facing the Timberwolves on Tuesday.

Poor shooting display Friday Simons recorded 14 points (6-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists over 27 minutes during Friday's 127-102 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Simons was far from efficient in this 25-point blowout loss to the Timberwolves, ending the game with more field goal attempts than points scored -- making it the second time this happened over the last four games. Despite the shooting woes and the lack of efficiency that has seen Simons shoot a meager 38.9 percent from the field in his first nine games this season, he should remain the Trail Blazers' primary offensive weapon.

Ties season-high assists in loss Simons registered 19 points (7-16 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Thursday's 118-105 loss to the Spurs.

Impact The 25-year-old tied his season high in assists while finishing as the game's third-highest scorer behind Deandre Ayton (21) and Jerami Grant (21). However, Simons did struggle from three-point range, and he has shot only 32.0 percent from beyond the arc through nine regular-season outings. The guard has taken a step back in scoring the rock this season, during which he has averaged 19.4 points, 5.3 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 0.9 steals across 33.9 minutes per game.

Scores 24 points Monday Simons finished Monday's 118-100 win over the Pelicans with 24 points (10-17 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, four assists and one steal in 34 minutes.

Impact Simons delivered his fifth game with 20 or more points in eight appearances this season, but he took a step forward in the efficiency department after shooting a meager 35.6 percent from the field in his previous seven contests. Simons should continue to operate as one of Portland's go-to players on offense going forward, though an uptick in the efficiency department would go a long way toward boosting his upside even further.

Struggles with shot Saturday Simons logged 20 points (8-25 FG, 4-13 3Pt, 0-1 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and two steals across 41 minutes during Saturday's 103-97 loss to the Suns.

Impact Simons didn't have his best shooting percentage Saturday, but he still posted a solid stat line. The star guard finished just two boards shy of a double-double and also filled the stat sheet in other categories, backing up the impact he can make on defense and as a playmaker. Simons has scored at least 20 points in four of his seven contests, and while he's been lacking a bit of consistency at times, he should remain one of Portland's best players going forward as long as he remains healthy.

Impact Simons left Friday's contest early after falling awkwardly on his arm but doesn't appear to have suffered a serious injury. The 25-year-old guard is averaging 18.7 points, 5.2 assists and 2.0 rebounds in 33.0 minutes across his six appearances this season.

Impact Coach Chauncey Billups said after the game that Simons was in the process of getting checked out by the medical staff but didn't think the injury was anything serious. Either way, with the Trail Blazers back in action Saturday against the Suns, Simons is still in danger of missing at least one contest. If that's the case, Scoot Henderson would likely make his first start of the campaign.

Spurs rally in narrow win Simons closed Wednesday's 106-105 victory over the Clippers with 25 points (10-24 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and six assists in 36 minutes.

Impact Simons started to get hot in the third quarter, and narrowed the gap with an excellent final stanza. The Clippers went ice-cold offensively and Simons took advantage, sinking the go-ahead layup to seal the win. Although the team is 2-3, Simons has put together five solid performances, and the team looks much-improved thanks to his output
