Anfernee Simons News, Rumors, Updates - Portland Trail Blazers | FOX Sports

Back on track with 21 points Simons chipped in 21 points (6-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, five assists and two blocks over 29 minutes during Saturday's 136-119 victory over the Mavericks.

Impact After two consecutive games with less than 20 points, Simons enjoyed a more productive line in the blowout win, and he achieved the total with only 29 minutes of court time. The Trail Blazers pulled most of the first-unit talent in the fourth quarter, which curtailed more outstanding outcomes for Simons and Damian Lillard.

Passive night Thursday Simons closed with 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt), two rebounds and five assists in 32 minutes during Thursday's 119-113 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Simons attempted only 10 shots, ending with a quiet 15 points as the Trail Blazers lost their fifth consecutive game. Despite scoring in double-digits in all but two games this season, Simons is well outside the top 100 over the past month. With Damian Lillard healthy and absorbing a lot of the offensive responsibility, Simons has taken a back seat. He remains a solid source of points and triples, but his inability to add peripheral numbers means he is better suited to points formats or specific category builds.

Impact All five Portland starters scored in double digits Friday night, including Simons who led the way with 20 points. It was the third time in four outings he nailed four three-pointers. The young guard is averaging 3.8 triples per game, a number that has stayed relatively consistent all season long and good for seventh in the league.

Reaches 30-point threshold Simons racked up 30 points (11-18 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals across 33 minutes during Monday's 135-106 win over the Pistons.

Impact Simons was locked in from the field in this one, and he also managed to contribute across the board for the Blazers. He's now hit four or more triples in five of his last seven contests, and he's averaging 21.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.4 assists over this stretch.

Puts together strong showing Simons had 22 points (8-21 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block across 35 minutes during Friday's 118-112 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Simons scored 12 of his 22 points from beyond the arc and turned in his best rebounding performance since Nov. 19 against Utah. The 23-year-old has scored in double figures in each of his last six contests, averaging 19.5 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 35.2 minutes.

Does damage from deep Simons had 12 points (4-11 FG, 4-9 3Pt), one rebound, four assists, one block and one steal across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 101-98 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Simons did all of his scoring in this one from beyond the arc, and he also found success distributing the basketball to his teammates for buckets. He's fallen back down to earth in two games since his spectacular 32-point performance Saturday against Houston, but he continues to score in double figures and has done so in eight of 10 December matchups.

Paces team with 32 points Simons logged 32 points (11-21 FG, 5-14 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two assists, one rebound and one steal over 33 minutes during Saturday's 107-95 victory over the Rockets.

Impact Simons turned in a stellar scoring performance, knocking down more than half of his shot attempts from the field while drilling five triples. As usual, however, Simons' contributions were fairly lean outside of the scoring column. He's recorded one steal and no blocks over his last three games while averaging 3.0 assists and 2.0 boards.

Goes for 23 points in win Simons recorded 23 points (9-15 FG, 5-9 3Pt), three rebounds and four assists over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 128-112 victory over the Spurs.

Impact Simons has been inconsistent over the last four games, but this was an excellent performance from the guard, both from a point-total perspective but also from an efficiency perspective. Over his last 10 games, Simons has scored at least 20 points in seven outings and is averaging 25.1 points per game during that span.

'He's a real player': Anfernee Simons delivers his response with 31 points in win over Wolves After a six-point, four turnover performance Thursday against Denver, the Blazers' guard dedicated himself to bounce back. And did he ever.

Impressive in sidekick role again Simons ended Saturday's 124-118 win over the Timberwolves with 31 points (13-22 FG, 5-10 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist over 35 minutes.

Impact While Simons finished second on the team to Damian Lillard (36 points) for team high-scoring honors, the former had the better shooting game, nailing 13 of 22 field-goal tries. Nearly half of his attempts and makes came from three-point range, and Simons has now converted five or more triples in three of his past four games. It was an impressive bounce-back effort after he scored a season-low six points on 3-for-12 shooting against Denver on Thursday.

Shot goes missing in loss Simons contributed six points (3-12 FG, 0-6 3Pt), three rebounds and five assists over 34 minutes during Thursday's 121-120 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Simons fell in a heap Thursday, putting up easily his worst game of the season. After scoring at least 20 points in four consecutive games, this was merely an off-night for Simons, who thus far has been one of the breakout stars of the season. With Damian Lillard now healthy, Simons is likely to see a bit of a drop-off when compared to his early season numbers. With that said, managers can rest assured he will be better than this moving forward.

Goes for 22 points in win Simons amassed 22 points (8-14 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Sunday's 116-100 win over Indiana.

Impact Simons couldn't repeat his career-best performance from Saturday against the Jazz, but he still posted a solid stat line even though his numbers were expected to decrease following the return of Damian Lillard to the starting lineup. Even when he has to co-exist with Lillard in the backcourt, and considering what that implies in terms of a decrease in touches, Simons should remain a focal point on offense for the Blazers.

Explodes for career-high 45 Simons ended Saturday's 116-111 win over the Jazz with a career-high 45 points (15-25 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 8-8 FT) to go with four assists, two rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 41 mi...

Impact Simons did most of his damage in the first half, as he ripped up the Jazz for 33 points on 12-for-17 shooting from the field through the first two quarters. His pace slowed thereafter, but he still was able to finish with a career high in the scoring column. Simons has embraced a primary role on offense while Damian Lillard (calf) has missed the past seven games, averaging 29.4 points, 5.4 assists and 4.7 triples per contest during that stretch. Lillard could be ready to return to the lineup for the second half of the back-to-back set Sunday against the Pacers, so Simons could soon see his production start to trend down a bit.
