Remaining out Wednesday Thybulle (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game versus Minnesota.

Impact Thybulle's next opportunity to make his season debut following knee surgery comes Sunday versus Atlanta. There is no reporting that a return is imminent.

Resting Wednesday WIlliams (rest) will not play Wednesday versus Minnesota.

Impact Williams resting the second half of Portland's back-to-back is not overly surprising. The 27-year-old logged a season-high 25 minutes Tuesday, and he will look to be fresh for Sunday's game versus Atlanta.

Will not play Wednesday Simons (illness) will not play Wednesday versus Minnesota.

Impact Simons became visibly shaken in the first quarter of Monday's contest versus Minnesota, dropping to a squat and appearing to be disoriented while standing on the perimeter mid-play. Simons is set to undergo further testing, but coach Chauncey Billups expects Simons to be fine. His next opportunity to take the court would come Sunday versus Atlanta.

Out Wednesday Ayton (finger) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Minnesota.

Impact A right finger sprain will cost Ayton his second consecutive contest, but he will now have until Sunday against Atlanta for his next opportunity to take the court. Donovan Clingan will headline Portland's center position against a healthy and skilled Minnesota frontcourt.

Shines in playmaking role Grant racked up 21 points (5-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 9-10 FT), two rebounds and eight assists across 39 minutes during Tuesday's 122-108 victory over the Timberwolves.

Impact Grant is known for being a prolific scorer and an energetic rebounder, but the eight dimes were certainly surprising -- he finished just one dime away from tying his career-best mark in that category. Grant has had noticeable shooting woes in the first weeks of the season and has struggled with efficiency, but he should continue to have green light to shoot at will, especially if Anfernee Simons (chest) is forced to miss time.

Limited impact Tuesday Clingan finished Tuesday's 122-108 victory over the Timberwolves with four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), six rebounds, one block and one steal across 21 minutes.

Impact It's unclear if Deandre Ayton (finger) will be available for the second half of this back-to-back set, and it's also uncertain if Robert Williams will play at all, so Clingan could be in line to make another start Wednesday. The rookie didn't have his best showing Tuesday, though that could've been expected since he had to battle with Rudy Gobert, one of the best rim protectors in the league. Clingan should continue to see steady minutes as long as the Blazers remain depleted in their frontcourt, though.

Excellent in win Tuesday Williams produced 19 points (9-10 FG, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, three blocks and three steals across 25 minutes during Tuesday's 122-108 win over Minnesota.

Impact Williams looked dominant on both ends of the court Tuesday and delivered one of his best outings in recent memory, taking full advantage of the absence of Deandre Ayton (finger). Williams' status for Wednesday's re-match against the Timberwolves is uncertain, however. "We're going to talk about - there's a lot of checkpoints coming off the injury but we'll see," Williams told Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland on Tuesday when asked about his chances of playing in the second half of this back-to-back set vs. Minnesota. The potential absence of Williams would lead to even more minutes for Donovan Clingan.
