Impact This is an expected move for Portland, as Deandre Ayton is starting Thursday after missing the past three games with a knee injury. Reath will likely see minutes in the teens as Ayton's primary backup.

Moves to bench Reath will come off the bench for Thursday's game against Utah, Jazz's radio announcer David Locke reports.
Available against Utah Brogdon (knee) is available for Thursday's game against the Jazz.
Impact Brogdon missed the past two games for Portland, though there's no word of any restrictions for his return to action. However, coach Chauncey Billups said he intends to bring Brogdon off the bench Thursday, so Anfernee Simons and Shaedon Sharpe are expected to run most of the offense.

Available to face Utah Ayton (knee) is available to face the Jazz on Thursday.
Impact Ayton will return and is likely to start after a three-game absence, meaning Duop Reath will move back to the second unit. Ayton should anchor the middle of the paint and will be a contributor on both ends of the court. Ayton is averaging 12.9 points and 10.8 rebounds per game this season.

Likely to play Thursday Ayton (knee) is expected to play Thursday versus the Jazz, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
Impact Coach Chauncey Billups is anticipating to have Ayton back in the starting lineup, but he wants to see him get through warmups first. With Ayton expected back after a three-game absence, Duop Reath will likely move back to the second unit for Portland.

Expected to play off bench Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official siteBrogdon (knee) is expected to play in Thursday's game against the Jazz, Casey Holdahl reports.
Impact Barring any setbacks in warmups, coach Chauncey Billups said the plan is to have Brogdon and Deandre Ayton (knee) both play. However, Brogdon will come off the bench if he does get the green light, so it's clear that Billups wants Anfernee Simons and Shaedon Sharpe to run the show.

Trail Blazers face the Jazz on 4-game slide
Portland looks to stop its four-game losing streak when the Portland Trail Blazers play UtahDECEMBER 14, 2023 โข ASSOCIATED PRESS
Questionable against Utah Brogdon (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Jazz.
Impact Brogdon is in danger of missing his third straight contest Thursday due to right knee soreness. If Brogdon is ruled out, Scoot Henderson will likely continue to receive extended minutes.
DECEMBER 14, 2023 โข ROTOWIRE
Tabbed questionable Ayton (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Jazz.
Impact Ayton has missed three straight contests with right knee soreness and is at risk of missing a fourth straight tilt. If he can't go Thursday, expect Duop Reath to remain in the first unit.
DECEMBER 14, 2023 โข ROTOWIRE
Won't play Thursday Grant (concussion) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Jazz.
Impact Grant will miss a third straight contest with a concussion that he suffered Dec. 3. In his absence, Matisse Thybulle, Jabari Walker and Kris Murray have been seeing more action and should continue to hold an expanded role during Thursday's tilt. Grant's next chance to play will come Saturday against the Mavericks.
DECEMBER 14, 2023 โข ROTOWIRE
Returns to practice Grant (concussion) went through "at least some" of Wednesday's practice, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
Impact Grant has missed Portland's last three contests while in concussion protocols. However, his return to practice, even in a limited capacity, is a good sign that he is nearing a return. Grant's next chance to suit up is Thursday's matchup with Utah.

Wakes up with 19 points Henderson chipped in 19 points (8-16 FG, 3-4 3Pt), four rebounds, six assists and two blocks over 30 minutes during Monday's 132-127 loss to the Clippers.
Impact Henderson faded into the woodwork after returning from injury due to Malcolm Brogdon's (knee) effective play, but his proficient bench play is making a strong case for a return to the starting five. The rookie's box scores continue to improve since his return, and his 19 points marked his best scoring total since coming back to action.
DECEMBER 12, 2023 โข ROTOWIRE
Scores 27 points in loss Sharpe had 27 points (8-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 7-9 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal across 41 minutes during Monday's 132-127 loss to the Clippers.
Impact Sharpe made plays all over the court in the loss, making up for the missing output of Jerami Grant (concussion) and Malcolm Brogdon (knee) effectively. As long as the roster remains snake-bit with injuries, Sharpe's usage will be sky-high.
DECEMBER 12, 2023 โข ROTOWIRE
Blows up with 38 points Simons produced 38 points (10-23 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 13-13 FT), one rebound, four assists and one block in 38 minutes during Monday's 132-127 loss to the Clippers.
Impact With Malcolm Brogdon (knee) out, Simons made the best of a bad situation and turned in his best scoring performance of the season despite coming up short. Although he faltered a bit in his first game back from injury, he's had a brilliant three-game run, averaging 32.0 points, 5.3 assists and 2.3 rebounds over that span.
