Deemed doubtful The Trail Blazers have listed Ayton (elbow) as doubtful for Saturday's game versus the Nuggets,

Impact Ayton was a late addition to Portland's injury report Friday, and he is now trending towards missing his second straight game due to left elbow tendinitis. Should that ultimately be the case, the big man's next chance to suit up would be Monday in Houston. Duop Reath will presumably draw another start at center if Ayton does not get the green light.

Double-doubles in loss to LAC Henderson supplied 24 points (8-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, 10 assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Friday's 125-117 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Henderson has had a rough rookie season, or at least much more complicated when comparing his numbers to the ones of other top rookies such as Victor Wembanyama and Brandon Miller. However, this was one of his best displays of the entire campaign. Henderson seems to be finding his groove of late, and he has scored in double digits in all but one of his last eight outings since returning from an adductor injury in early March. He's averaging 13.4 points, 5.5 assists and 3.5 rebounds per game in that stretch.

Scores career-high 21 points Murray provided 21 points (8-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and three steals across 36 minutes during Friday's 125-117 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Murray made his presence felt on both ends of the court, and the younger brother of Keegan Murray continues to find his footing at the NBA level while enjoying an expanded role on a rebuilding Portland team. Murray jumped into a starting role following the All-Star break but has been thriving lately, scoring in double digits in four of his last five appearances. To note, he has now reached career-high scoring marks in back-to-back games, a run he'll aim to extend when the Blazers take on the Nuggets on Saturday, which represents a tougher matchup for the rookie out of Iowa.

Scores 11 points with 11 shots Camara logged 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt), seven rebounds and one assist over 32 minutes during Friday's 125-117 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Camara has been very inconsistent with his scoring figures lately, and while his starting role is not in jeopardy, he isn't doing much from a fantasy perspective. Camara has failed to reach the 10-point mark in seven of his 11 appearances this month, meaning he's averaging a paltry 7.8 points per game in March even when he's shooting 47.8 percent from the field.

Impact Simons was cleared to play Friday despite dealing with tendinitis in his left knee, so it would appear he's managing the same issue. The team figures to re-evaluate the guard in the morning to determine his status for Saturday's game against Denver.

Joins first unit Reath has been confirmed as the starting center for Friday night's game against the Clippers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Impact It was reported a few hours before tipoff that Reath was in line for the start, and it's since been made official. Reath should see plenty of opportunities to make an impact with Deandre Ayton (elbow) out of commission.

Hopeful to play again this season Brogdon (elbow) has been ramping up his activity, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.

Impact Brogdon hasn't seen any game action since Feb. 2, but head coach Chauncey Billips is optimistic about the guard's chances of returning before the 2023-24 campaign ends. The team should have another update on Brogdon's status once he's a bit closer to a return.

Increasing activity Sharpe (abdomen) is ramping up basketball activities and is expected to be re-evaluated over the next few days, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.

Impact This update doesn't provide much in terms of a timeline for Sharpe's return, but it's worth noting that he's trending in the right direction. He only has a few weeks remaining until the regular season comes to a close, so it's still unclear whether Sharpe will have enough time to see game action this season.

MARCH 23 • ROTOWIRE

Out Friday Minaya will not play in Friday's matchup with the Clippers due to an undisclosed issue, available for Friday's matchup with the Clippers.

Impact Minaya was questionable for the Trail Blazers game on Wednesday, but he ultimately played through it. The depth forward was not on Portland's injury report for Friday's game before getting ruled out. His next chance to suit up will come Saturday against the Nuggets.

MARCH 23 • ROTOWIRE

Likely starter vs. Clippers Reath is expected to start at center Friday against Los Angeles, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Impact Ayton (elbow) has been ruled out with elbow tendinitis, so it'll be Reath who's in line for the spot start Friday night. His last start dates back to March 8 against the Rockets, when he finished with 16 points, six rebounds, three assists and one block in 32 minutes.

MARCH 23 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Simons (knee) is available for Friday's matchup with the Clippers.

Impact Simons was in danger of missing Friday's contest due to left knee tendinitis, but he will ultimately play through the issue. Barring any setbacks, look for him to take on his usual workload. The shooting guard has averaged 24.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 3.8 triples across 36.0 minutes over his last four games.
