Blake Wesley News, Rumors, Updates - Portland Trail Blazers | FOX Sports

Logs 20 minutes in G League Wesley (knee) played 20 minutes Friday for the G League's Austin Spurs in the club's 112-102 loss to the Mexico City Capitanes, finishing with 12 points (4-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT),...

Impact Wesley's appearance with Austin was his first in the NBA or the G League since Oct. 30, after he missed just over a month and a half with a Grade 3 MCL sprain of his left knee. According to Tom Osborn of the San Antonio Express-News, Wesley said his knee held up well during Friday's contest, but he's still likely to make another appearance for two for Austin at the G League's showcase event in Las Vegas before likely rejoining the NBA team ahead of Thursday's game in New Orleans or Friday's game in Magic. Wesley will thus miss San Antonio's game Monday in Houston, but the rookie first-round pick could settle into a spot in the NBA team's rotation as a backup point guard by the end of the week.

Spurs' Blake Wesley produces 12 points in return from injury Wesley returned from a knee injury on Friday and reached double figures on assignment in the G League.

Assigned to G League The Spurs assigned Wesley (knee) to the Austin Spurs of the G League on Tuesday, Ty Jager of PoundingTheRock.com reports.

Impact Wesley has been out since late October with a Grade 3 MCL sprain. His assignment to the G League is a good sign that his rehab is progressing well and could indicate a return to action by the end of 2022. The Spurs expect Wesley to be recalled for Wednesday's game against Portland, but he will almost certainly still be ruled out.

Progresses to 3-on-3 Wesley participated in 3-on-3 work Wednesday for the first time since spraining his left MCL in late October, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Impact The rookie first-round pick made his first two NBA appearances in late October, totaling 16 points, four assists and two rebounds in 23 minutes, but he suffered a Grade 3 MCL sprain in the second contest and has been sidelined since. Wesley still has a long way to go before considering a return to game action, but it appears like he's progressing through rehab well and has a chance to suit up before the end of the calendar year.

Suffers torn MCL Wesley was diagnosed Monday with a torn MCL in his left knee and is expected to miss six to eight weeks, Tom Osborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Impact The rookie first-round pick suffered the injury in just his second career appearance. Following the Spurs' release of Joshua Primo, Wesley appeared to be a candidate to take on a regular spot in the rotation, but the knee injury nixes those plans. After Doug McDermott and Josh Richardson (back), Malaki Branham and Romeo Langford are now presumably next in line to fill backup minutes on the wing behind starters Keldon Johnson and Devin Vassell (knee).

Won't return Sunday Wesley has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Timberwolves due to a left knee injury, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact Wesley came off the bench once again Sunday and tallied six points (2-3 FG, 2-4 FT) and two rebounds in eight minutes prior to his departure in the second quarter. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available Wednesday against Toronto.

Rejoins parent club Wesley was recalled from the G League's Austin Spurs on Thursday, Tom Osborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Impact Wesley was sent to the G League on Monday but will rejoin San Antonio a few days later. His role for Friday's game against the Bulls will likely depend on whether Devin Vassell (knee) and Joshua Primo (glute) are able to suit up.

Up-and-down start in Vegas Wesley finished Monday's Las Vegas Summer League game against Houston with 14 points (3-20 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 8-9 FT), six rebounds, four assists and three steals in 32 minutes.

Impact While Wesley had a woefully inefficient night from the field, it's still encouraging that the Spurs are essentially turning the reins over to the 2022 first-round pick out of Notre Dame. In Sunday's narrow loss to Golden State, Wesley posted 22 points on 7-of-20 shooting, including 4-of-7 from beyond the arc. As is the case with most rookie guards, efficiency could be an issue for Wesley early on, but his aggressiveness and ability to get to the free-throw line have to be viewed as positives at this stage.
