Zac McGraw - Out for finale McGraw (not injury related) is out for Saturday's trip to Seattle.

Impact McGraw isn't an option for Saturday's clash, but not due to injury. It's not clear what the issue is, but that will spell the end of his regular season. McGraw finished the regular season with just 13 appearances (10 starts) in what has been by far the most disappointing season of his Timbers tenure.

The veteran attacking midfielder attempted a team-high four crosses (three accurate), attempted two corners and landed one shot on target en route to creating seven chances. The seven chances tied his previous season-best mark set in June when he created seven chances, scored once, and supplied an assist during Portland's 3 - 2 victory over Minnesota.

Evander - Fills stat sheet in loss Evander recorded eight shots (two on goal), 10 crosses (one accurate) and seven corners in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Austin FC.

Impact Evander has been one of the best players in the league in 2024, and he could have a strong case for an MVP award based on his numbers. Even though he couldn't find the back of the net in this one, Evander is basically a must-start player across all formats since his involvement in the attacking third gives him an extremely high floor to go along with his 29 goal contributions (15 goals, 14 assists) in 26 appearances.

Felipe Mora - Scoreless run continues Mora had five shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Austin FC.

Impact Mora has gone three straight matches without finding the back of the net, and the striker has been on a tear this season while forming an excellent trio alongside Jonathan Rodriguez and Evander. Mora is up to 14 goals this season, which is already a career-high mark for him at the MLS level.
