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

Scores 23 despite shooting woes Simons finished Saturday's 118-113 loss to the Jazz with 23 points (7-19 FG, 4-13 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists, one block and four steals in 36 minutes.

Impact Simons posted his fifth straight game with at least 23 points and continued his strong play of late, though he didn't have his best shooting performance and looked inefficient at times, particularly from three-point range. Knowing that Damian Lillard might miss Monday's game against the Bucks -- and possibly more -- due to a calf injury, Simons could be in line for an uptick in usage, which may translate into even better numbers in what has been a career-best season for the fifth-year guard.

Strong play continues Simons posted 24 points (8-20 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound, two assists and two steals over 29 minutes during Thursday's 109-107 loss to the Nets.

Impact Simons has knocked down four or more triples in his last four contests, scoring 20-plus points in each matchup. He's had a solid month of November to this point, averaging 24.1 points, 2.9 rebounds and 4.3 assists on 38.7 percent shooting from three over seven games.

Swrves up 27 points in loss Simons accumulated 24 points (9-20 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and two assists across 39 minutes during Saturday's 117-112 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Since missing two games, Simons is performing extremely well, averaging 22,8 points, 4.5 assists and 3.3 rebounds over a four-game span. The Trail Blazers lean heavily on Simons and Damian Lillard, and their combined presence is key to their success. Staying healthy has been a concern for both players so far this season, but there aren't many backcourts that can match the duo when they are 100 percent.

Scores 23 but struggles with shot Simons closed Thursday's 106-95 victory over the Pelicans with 23 points (5-18 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 8-8 FT), three rebounds and six assists in 37 minutes.

Impact Simons finished as the Blazers' second-leading scorer in the contest, but he posted an ugly 5-for-18 shooting line. That was largely due to going 0-for-5 from two-point range, as he shot a respectable 5-for-13 from beyond the arc. Simons also made all eight of his free-throw tries to take a bit of the sting out of his poor field-goal rate. He's now scored over 20 points in six of his 10 contests this season and is averaging 22.1 points per game.

Goes for 19 points in win Simons recorded 19 points (7-18 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 3-6 FT), six assists, three rebounds and two steals in 33 minutes during Portland's 105-95 win over the Hornets on Wednesday.

Impact Simons did most of his damage in the second quarter, going 3-of-4 from the field and 2-of-3 from behind the arc for nine points. The Portland guard also played a major role in extending the team's lead down the stretch, dishing out three fourth-quarter assists, including one to Josh Hart immediately after the former stole a pass from Kelly Oubre. Simons has scored in double figures in every game this season and has now recorded six or more assists in three of his last four appearances.

Ready to roll versus Hornets Simons (foot) will play in Wednesday's game against the Hornets.

Impact Simons was part of an initial six-man listing of probable statuses leading up to the contest. While three of those players were eventually downgraded and ruled out, Simons will play again and should be counted on for a sizable chunk of scoring with Jerami Grant (ankle) and Jusuf Nurkic (thigh) both ruled out.

NOVEMBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Probable Wednesday The Trail Blazers have listed Simons probable for Wednesday's game versus the Hornets due to left foot inflammation.

Impact Simons joins three other starters from Monday's game against Miami in the probable department, so there shouldn't be much concern with the designation unless things begin to trend in the wrong direction. Otherwise, expect him to handle his usual spot in the starting lineup.

NOVEMBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Strong showing in return Simons collected 25 points (9-20 FG, 4-12 3PT, 3-3 FT), four assists and one steal in 32 minutes Monday against the Heat.

Impact Simons played a key role in his squad's 110-107 victory, though he showed some signs of rust after missing his last two contests with a foot injury. While he did need 20 field-goal attempts to reach 25 points, he still led the Trail Blazers in scoring. The shot opportunities should continue to be there for Simons, as he's attempted 17 or more shots in seven of eight contests this season.

Officially cleared, will have limit Simons (foot) will be available Monday at Miami.

Impact As expected, Simons will return to action Monday, but coach Chauncey Billups said pregame that the guard will have a minutes limit. It's unclear what, exactly, that limit will be, so Simons will make for a fairly risky play in DFS contests Monday night.

Expected to return Monday Simons (foot) is expected to play Monday against Miami, per head coach Chauncey Billups, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Assuming Simons does play, he wil...

Impact Swelling in his left foot has kept Simons out of the Blazers' last two games, but he's made progress in the last 24 hours and -- barring some sort of setback in pregame warmups -- should be back in action Monday. The Blazers will also get Damian Lillard back from a strained calf, so while Simons will remain in the starting five next to the superstar guard, he'll return to a slightly reduced role as Portland's second or third option on offense.

Upgraded to questionable Simons (foot) was upgraded to questionable for Monday's game against the Heat.

Impact Simons has missed each of the Trail Blazers' previous two contests due to foot inflammation and was initially listed as doubtful for Monday. With Damian Lillard (calf) also questionable, Portland's backcourt will certainly be a situation to monitor closer to tip-off.

Impact Simons will likely miss a third straight game due to a foot injury. It's unclear when he may return to action, but after Monday's game, his next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against the Hornets.

Out again Saturday Simons (foot) is out for Saturday's game against the Suns, Aaron J. Fentress of The Oregonian reports.

Impact Simons will miss a second straight game Saturday. Justise Winslow got the nod Friday and will presumably start again against the Suns. Keon Johnson, Shaedon Sharpe and Nassir Little should also see extra run once more.
