PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS NEWS

Cleared to participate in camp Portland general manager Joe Cronin said Monday that Simons (knee) has been cleared for training camp this week, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.

Impact The Trail Blazers shut Simons down for the 2023-24 season on March 22, taking a cautious approach like they did with most of their key players. Simons is expected to have a massive offensive role for Portland and posted impressive regular-season averages of 22.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 3.4 triples in 2023-24.

Cleared for training camp Trail Blazers general manager Joe Cronin said Monday that Sharpe (abdomen) has been cleared for training camp this week, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.

Impact Sharpe underwent abdominal surgery in January, and although he was ramping up towards a return at the end of the 2023-24 season, the Trail Blazers decided to shut him down as a precaution. He'll have some hype in fantasy circles for obvious reasons, as he averaged 15.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.9 three-pointers and 0.9 steals in 33.1 minutes per game over his 32 regular-season appearances.

Good to go Portland general manager Joe Cronin said Monday that Henderson (hip) will be a full go for training camp this week, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.

Impact Henderson missed the regular-season finale on April 14 with a minor hip issue, but it's widely believed that the franchise was just being cautious in a meaningless game. Entering his second NBA campaign, Henderson will have high expectations after showing some serious promise to end his rookie season. He ended up making 62 regular-season appearances with averages of 14.0 points, 5.4 assists, 3.1 rebounds, 1.4 triples and 0.8 steals across 28.5 minutes.

Cleared to play Trail Blazers general manager Joe Cronin said Monday that Grant (hamstring) will be a full go for training camp this week, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.

Impact Grant made his final appearance of the 2023-24 season on March 11 before the Trail Blazers shut him down. The team had nothing to play for at that point, however, so it's likely that they were being extra cautious. The veteran is expected to a key part of Portland's plans this campaign and posted averages of 21.0 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game across 54 regular-season appearances in 2023-24.

SEPTEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared for camp Portland general manager Joe Cronin said Monday that Camara (ribs) is good to go for training camp, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.

Impact Camara suffered a fractured left rib and a small laceration in his kidney at the end of March to end his rookie season early. The second-round pick out of Dayton showed a ton of promise, however, especially on the defensive end. In 70 regular-season appearances, Camara produced averages of 7.5 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.8 three-pointers in 24.8 minutes.

Receiving interest from Sacramento The Kings have expressed interest in Williams, Brett Siegel of Clutch Points reports.

Impact The Trail Blazers drafted Deandre Ayton's backup in Donovan Clingan this summer, so Williams no longer makes a ton of sense on the Portland roster. He will need to show he's healthy before another team will be willing to take the plunge on the oft-injured big man, but getting out of Portland could only be good for his fantasy outlook. The Pelicans have also been rumored to be interested in acquiring the Time Lord, and that would be an excellent landing spot for him in terms of fantasy hoops, but to be clear, nothing is imminent on the Williams trade front.

Inks deal with Portland The Trail Blazers signed Graham to a one-year deal, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact Graham was recently traded to the Hornets from the Spurs, and he was waived before striking a deal with the Blazers in free agency. The 29-year-old appeared in only 23 games for San Antonio last season, during which he averaged 5.0 points, 2.1 assists and 1.6 rebounds across a career-low 13.6 minutes. Graham could potentially revitalize his career with a rebuilding club; however, he will have to compete for minutes with Anfernee Simons, Dalano Banton, Shaedon Sharpe and Kris Murray.
