Returns to game Tuesday Williams has returned to Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.

Impact Williams went back to the locker room in the second quarter, though he was able to come back for the third. The big man should be able to handle his normal workload the rest of the way.

Goes to locker room Tuesday Williams (undisclosed) went back to the locker room in the second quarter of Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.

Impact Williams left the game and went straight back to the locker room with a trainer. The injury is currently unknown and if the big man is unable to return, Kris Murray and Deni Avdija could see an uptick in playing time with Deandre Ayton (finger) ruled out prior to the game.

Out for remainder of game Simons will not return to Tuesday's game versus the Timberwolves due to a chest injury.

Impact Simons tallied two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound in five minutes before exiting Tuesday's contest early. Although initial reports view Simons' injury as a hand issue, it now appears to be a chest issue. The 25-year-old guard's status for Wednesday's rematch with Minnesota is uncertain.

Exits to locker room Simons went back to the locker room in the first quarter with an apparent right hand injury, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.

Impact Portland's medical staff appeared to check Simons' right hand before he went back to the locker room early in the matchup. If the 25-year-old is unable to return, Scoot Henderson and Dalano Banton are candidates for an increased role the rest of the way.

Making first NBA start Clingan is in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Timberwolves, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.

Impact Clingan will replace Deandre Ayton (finger) in the starting lineup Tuesday. The rookie big man has yet to log 20 or more minutes in a game this season but will likely receive an uptick in playing time against Minnesota.

NOVEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Tuesday Ayton (finger) has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup against the Timberwolves, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.

Impact Ayton was a late addition to the injury report due to a sprained right index finger, and he has officially been ruled out for the first leg of the back-to-back set against Minnesota. The big man will be replaced in the starting five by Donovan Clingan, who will make his first career start Tuesday.

NOVEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Late addition to injury report Ayton is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves due to a right index finger sprain.

Impact While the extent of the injury remains unclear, Ayton was a late addition to the injury report, which isn't a good sign for his availability Tuesday night. If Ayton is sidelined, rookie Donovan Clingan may draw his first start, while Robert Williams, who recently made his season debut, could be in store for extra minutes. Duop Reath could also enter Portland's rotation.

Productive off bench once again Banton accumulated 13 points (4-18 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals across 20 minutes during Sunday's 134-89 loss to Memphis.

Impact Banton owns one of the highest point-per-minute-played rates in the NBA, and he didn't need a lot of time to make his presence felt -- although it was in another blowout defeat. Banton is averaging 12.0 points on 13.5 minutes per game across six appearances in November.

Puts up 20 points in blowout loss Grant notched 20 points (7-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-6 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal across 28 minutes during Sunday's 134-89 loss to Memphis.

Impact The Trail Blazers looked drastically overmatched in this blowout loss to the Grizzlies, and Grant was one of the few Portland players who delivered a relatively decent performance. His 20 points led the team, and this was the third time he reached the 20-point mark in his six outings in November.

NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Woeful in loss to Memphis Simons registered four points (2-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 19 minutes during Sunday's 134-89 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Simons had his worst game of the season Sunday, and even though his numbers had been trending in the wrong direction of late, he reached a new low in this one, missing seven of his nine shots and failing to do much in other categories. Simons should remain one of the Trail Blazers' most reliable options on offense, however, and he'll aim to bounce back when facing the Timberwolves on Tuesday.
