Anfernee Simons News, Rumors, Updates - Portland Trail Blazers

Still dealing with illness Simons is questionable for Friday's game against Indiana due to an illness.

Impact Simons was questionable for Wednesday's game against Brooklyn due to a "general illness," but he suited up and played 39 minutes in the two-point win, posting 20 points (8-20 FG), four rebounds and four assists. He wasn't included on Portland's initial injury report for Friday's game, so his late addition is concerning, though it'd be surprising if he didn't suit up again.

Available Wednesday Simons (illness) will play in Wednesday's game against Brooklyn, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

Impact Simons was added to the Trail Blazers injury report as questionable with an illness, but he's feeling good enough to play Wednesday. While Simons is fresh off a 28-point outing Sunday, he's only surpassed 15 points in two of his last seven appearances, a stretch in which he's shot 33.6 percent from the field.

Gets questionable tag for Wednesday Simons is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nets with "general illness."

Impact Simons wasn't included on the initial injury report for Wednesday's game that the Trail Blazers released late Tuesday, but the sixth-year guard presumably fell ill overnight. Portland will likely reassess Simons' condition following morning shootaround before providing an update on his status in advance of the 10 p.m. ET opening tip. Malcolm Brogdon (groin) is also iffy to play Wednesday, so if both he and Simons end up sitting out, Scoot Henderson could be in store for a huge minutes load, given that Portland has no other healthy point guards on the roster.

Goes for 28 points in loss Simons closed Sunday's 127-116 loss to the Suns with 28 points (8-18 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds and five assists across 41 minutes.

Impact Simons was coming off three straight games in which he failed to reach the 15-point mark, but he bounced back admirably here and delivered his eighth game of the campaign with 28 or more points. Simons has struggled with consistency of late, and the team's overall struggles have played a part in that, but he remains one of Portland's most reliable fantasy alternatives due to his scoring prowess, even if he hasn't been very efficient in recent weeks.

Poor shooting display in loss Simons ended Thursday's 139-77 loss to Oklahoma City with 14 points (4-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 20 minutes.

Impact Similar to Scoot Henderson and the entire Blazers' starting lineup, Simons had a rough outing from the field as Portland suffered one of the biggest defeats the NBA has seen in recent years. Simons remains valuable in fantasy due to his scoring ability and role in the offensive scheme, but he was wildly inefficient in this one. His first chance to bounce back will come against the Timberwolves on Friday.

JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Poor shooting display Tuesday Simons had 12 points (4-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and three assists in 27 minutes during Tuesday's 112-84 loss to New York.

Impact Simons needed 14 shots to score 12 points, and to make things even more complicated, this is now the third time -- over his last four games -- in which he can't score more than 15 points. He does have a 38-point, 11-assist effort sandwiched in that span, but it seems he's trending in the wrong direction of late. Simons is averaging 24.6 points per contest over his last 10 appearances, however, so he should be able to bounce back sooner than later.

JANUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Season best performance in win Simons ended with 38 points (13-25 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 7-8 FT), four rebounds and 11 assists over 45 minutes during Sunday's 134-127 overtime win over the Nets.

Impact Simons put forth his best performance of the year in an overtime victory, leading all players in Sunday's contest in scoring, threes made and assists en route to his first double-double of the year. Simons set a season high in assists while crossing the double-digit mark for the first time of the year. He has connected on five or more threes in five games this season while scoring 35 or more points in three outings.

Cleared for full workload Simons won't have a minutes restriction during Sunday's matchup against the Nets, Aaron J. Fentress of The Oregonian reports.

Impact Following a three-game absence, Simons has played 27 minutes and 23 minutes over his last two appearances, respectively. Before his recent injury, Simons averaged 34.9 minutes per game over his first 10 appearances this season. While he likely won't eclipse 35 minutes Sunday, it's safe to assume he'll play close to 30 minutes versus Brooklyn.

Rough night in return Simons contributed 15 points (5-16 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and three assists in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 126-97 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Simons returned to action after missing three straight games due to an illness, ending with 15 points on poor shooting. The Trail Blazers were never in the game, resulting in limited minutes for the starters. Managers will have to look beyond this performance and simply be thankful that Simons was back on the floor. Look for him to bounce back when the two teams clash again Friday.

JANUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Set to play against Dallas Simons (illness) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Mavericks, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

Impact Simons has been upgraded from questionable to available Wednesday after missing the last three games with a non-COVID illness. The 24-year-old guard will likely replace Scoot Henderson in the starting lineup against Dallas.

Upgraded to questionable Simons (illness) has been upgraded to questionable in advance of Wednesday's game against the Mavericks, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.

Impact Simons is amid a three-game absence due to illness, but the 24-year-old appears to be on the mend. Simons is averaging 27.1 points, 3.1 rebounds and 5.3 assists in 34.2 minutes per game across 11 appearances this season.

JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Will not play Monday Simons (illness) will not play in Monday's game versus the Suns.

Impact Simons and Deandre Ayton (knee) are sitting out for Portland, while Shaedon Sharpe (groin) is questionable. Malcolm Brogdon is likely going to see another heavy workload for the Trail Blazers, as he's played at least 37 minutes in three of his past four appearances. Scoot Henderson will have more opportunities as well, and he's coming off arguably the best game of his season with 22 points, 11 assists, seven rebounds, one steal, one block and three triples against the Spurs on Friday.

JANUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Will remain out Friday Simons (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Spurs.

Impact Simons missed Thursday's loss to the Spurs due to an illness and will remain sidelined for the second half of a back-to-back set. His next opportunity to suit up will come Monday in Phoenix, which is the first matchup of a seven-game road trip. The Trail Blazers are going to be shorthanded Friday, so Scoot Henderson, Malcolm Brogdon and Skylar Mays should handle the majority of the point-guard responsibilities in Simons' absence.

Won't play against Spurs Simons (illness) will be held out of Thursday's game against the Spurs, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.

Impact Simons was a late addition to the injury report Thursday and isn't feeling well enough to give it a go. It remains to be seen if he'll be able to play in Friday's rematch against the Spurs, so for now, consider him questionable. With Simons out, Scoot Henderson will make his sixth start of his rookie campaign.

Late addition to injury report Simons is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Spurs due to an illness.

Impact Simons is in danger of missing his first game Thursday since Dec. 2 after being a late addition to the injury report with a general illness. If Simons is ultimately downgraded to out, Scoot Henderson, Malcolm Brogdon and Skylar Mays are candidates to receive increased minutes.

DECEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Pours in 29 points Simons supplied 29 points (12-25 FG, 5-12 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 130-113 victory over the Kings.

Impact Simons carried the first unit with a huge stat line while other members of the starting lineup failed to have a significant impact on the scoring total. The Trail Blazers recorded a huge win against the Kings without Shaedon Sharpe's (groin) services, but Simons picked up the slack in the backcourt with another flawless game.
