NORMAN POWELL NEWS

Good to go Sunday Powell (knee) is available for Sunday's game at Chicago, Jamie Hudson of KOIN 6 News Portland reports.

Impact Powell was considered probable with a bruised left knee, so it's hardly a surprise he's suiting up Sunday. He's averaged 14.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.7 steals in 33.7 minutes across three contests since returning from an eight-game absence.

Probable Sunday Powell is probable for Sunday's game against the Bulls due to a left knee contusion, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

Impact Powell has made three appearances since returning from an eight-game absence, and he averaged 14.3 points and 6.3 rebounds in 33.7 minutes per contest during that time. Although he's dealing with a knee issue ahead of Sunday's matchup, he'll likely be able to suit up against Chicago.

Scores 19 in return as starter Powell contributed 19 points (5-17 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 7-12 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one steal over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 132-112 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Powell returned from an eight-game absence Tuesday but came off the bench and scored just eight points. He rejoined the starting five Wednesday and fared better, though he struggled to get his shot to fall. Powell's biggest contribution came as a rebounder, as he tallied a season-best nine boards. From a fantasy perspective, his value comes from his ability to score and knock down a few three-pointers per game.

Back in starting lineup Powell will start Wednesday's game against the Mavericks, Jay Allen of NBC Sports Northwest Rip City Radio 620 reports.

Impact Powell came off the bench Tuesday in his return from an eight-game absence due to personal reasons, and he'll rejoin the starting five Wednesday with Nassir Little (shoulder) and Robert Covington (knee) unavailable. Powell had eight points (2-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT) five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 26 minutes Tuesday and will attempt to get back on track versus Dallas.

Limited output in return Powell (personal) played 26 minutes in Tuesday's 109-107 loss to the Timberwolves, finishing with eight points (2-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal.

Impact For a Portland squad that was without three rotation players (Damian Lillard, Larry Nance and Cody Zeller) on Wednesday due to long-term injuries, Powell's return from an eight-game absence due to a stint in the COVID-19 health and safety protocols along with personal leave was a welcome development. The Trail Blazers eased Powell back into the mix in a bench role, marking the first time all season he hasn't started. Though his overall production was underwhelming, his minutes in his first game back were strong, and Powell could jump back into the starting five as soon as Wednesday's game against the Mavericks. Nassir Little, who started at small forward Tuesday, picked up a shoulder injury in the contest and could be in danger of missing the second half of the back-to-back set.

Coming off bench with limit Powell will come off the bench with a minutes limit for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves, Trail Blazers radio play-by-play announcer Travis Demers reports.

Impact Powell returns following an eight-game absence but will need some time to get back into game shape. Tuesday marks his first time coming off the bench this season.

Not listed on injury report Powell (personal) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves, Jay Allen of NBC Sports Northwest Rip City Radio 620 reports.

Impact A combination of COVID-19 protocols and a personal matter combined to sideline Powell for the last eight games, but it looks like he'll finally make his return to action Tuesday. Normally, Powell is a high-minute player on the wing, but given the layoff it's possible he could be eased back into action for a game or two.

Ruled out Monday Powell (COVID-19 protocols) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Magic, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

Impact Powell was questionable ahead of Monday's contest but will remain sidelined for a fifth consecutive game due to the league's health and safety protocols. His next chance to return comes Wednesday against Miami.

Could return Monday Powell (COVID-19 protocols) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Magic, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

Impact Powell hasn't officially exited the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols, but the Trail Blazers' decision to upgrade him to questionable suggests that could happen before Monday's 7 p.m. ET tipoff. Shooting guard CJ McCollum (conditioning) is already expected to make his return to the lineup Monday, so if active, Powell would likely shift up to small forward, while Anfernee Simons runs the point. Portland should have another update on Powell's status following the team's morning shootaround Monday.
