Blazers at Nets: Live updates, time, TV channel, live stream online The Blazers seven-game trip continues Sunday at the Brooklyn Nets.
Cleared for full workload Simons won't have a minutes restriction during Sunday's matchup against the Nets, Aaron J. Fentress of The Oregonian reports.
Impact Following a three-game absence, Simons has played 27 minutes and 23 minutes over his last two appearances, respectively.

No definite return date Ayton (knee) has no timetable for return, but coach Chauncey Billups expressed optimism Sunday that the 25-year-old could join the team on the upcoming road trip, Sean Highkin of R...
Impact Portland's upcoming four game road trip features a showdown against the Knicks on Tuesday followed by a back-to-back Thursday and Friday against Oklahoma City and Minnesota. Ayton's ongoing battle with right knee tendonitis is set to sidelined him for 10 of Portland's last 16 contests, as he will miss his seventh consecutive contest Sunday against Brooklyn. The language surrounding his injury doesn't preclude a return in the short-term, but management of Ayton's knee will likely be a season-long trend.

Minutes restriction lifted Sharpe won't have a minutes restriction during Sunday's matchup against the Nets, Aaron J. Fentress of The Oregonian reports.
Impact Following a five-game absence, Sharpe has operated off the bench for three straight games, averaging 21.3 minutes during that stretch. Before the injury, Sharpe was playing 36.1 minutes per night. He likely won't return to that type of workload right away, but it's safe to expect him to play around 30 minutes versus Brooklyn.

Ruled out Walker (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Nets, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
Impact Walker will miss a second straight game due to left knee soreness. Deandre Ayton (knee), Matisse Thybulle (foot) and Moses Brown (wrist) are also out, so Kris Murray, Ibou Badji and Rayan Rupert could play significant minutes versus Brooklyn.

Downgraded to out Thybulle (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Brooklyn, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
Impact Thybulle has been downgraded from questionable to out and will miss his first game of the season. Deandre Ayton (knee), Moses Brown (wrist) and Jabari Walker (knee) are also out, so Portland's frontcourt will be shorthanded, meaning Kris Murray, Ibou Badji and Rayan Rupert may play significant minutes off the bench.

Still out against Brooklyn Brown (wrist) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Nets.
Impact Brown's absence streak will extend to three games Sunday due to a sprained left wrist. His next chance to suit up is Tuesday's matchup with the Knicks.

Carrying questionable tag Thybulle (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Nets.
Impact Thybulle left Friday's game against the Mavericks early and was diagnosed with a sprain. Fortunately for Portland, he's considered day-to-day. With Jabari Walker (knee) also questionable, the Blazers may need to rely heavily on Toumani Camara and Kris Murray.

Questionable for Sunday Walker (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Nets.
Impact Walker picked up his left knee injury Wednesday against the Mavericks and was held out of Friday's rematch. The questionable tag suggests that he's day-to-day, but Portland will be hoping he can give it a go with Deandre Ayton (knee) ruled out once again. If Walker sits for a second straight game, the Blazers will likely rely on Toumani Camara, Kris Murray and Matisse Thybulle.

Still out Sunday Ayton (knee) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Nets.
Impact Ayton will miss his seventh straight game Sunday due to right knee tendinitis. With Moses Brown (foot) also out, Duop Reath and Ibou Badji should continue to receive increased minutes. Ayton's next chance to suit up is Tuesday's matchup with the Knicks.

Impact Grant led the Trail Blazers in scoring for the third time in five games, though he hasn't managed to crack 20 points over his last three games. His 20.1 points per game over his last 10 appearances is slightly down from his season average of 21.6. However, Grant's shooting numbers have slightly risen to 49.3 percent from the field and 45.7 percent from three in that span.

Solid performance in start Reath supplied 16 points (7-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and two assists in 27 minutes during Friday's 139-103 loss to Dallas.
Impact Reath was swapped into the starting lineup for Ibou Badji for Friday's game. It was a blowout loss for the Trail Blazers, but Reath seven rebounds was tied for most on the team with Toumani Camara. Reath has played at least 27 minutes in two of his last three games and has carved a larger role for himself in Portland's rotation.
