Impact Banton has been sidelined for three of the Blazers' last four games due to a left hip contusion, which could prevent him from playing in Saturday's contest. Banton is averaging 16.5 minutes per game off the bench this season, and his recent absence has resulted in increased playing time for fellow reserves Scoot Henderson and Kris Murray.

Impact Banton is back on the Trail Blazers' injury report with a left contusion, which had already kept him out for two games.

Impact Banton had missed the Trail Blazers' previous two games with a left hip contusion. He took back a spot in head coach Chauncey Billups' rotation in his return, but Banton's playing time will likely be limited while all of Anfernee Simons, Shaedon Sharpe and Scoot Henderson are available out of the backcourt.

Impact Banton will return after a two-game absence, and he should add another scoring threat off the bench for the Blazers. Even though he doesn't play enough to be a reliable fantasy option in most formats, Banton averages 9.8 points while logging just 16.7 minutes per contest.

Won't play Thursday Banton (hip) is out for Thursday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact Banton provides a scoring punch off the bench, but this hip injury will prevent him from taking the floor in this one.

Iffy for Thursday Banton is questionable for Thursday's game against the Nuggets due to a left hip contusion.

Impact Banton has been a key rotation piece for the Trail Blazers since the start of November, averaging 11.0 points, 2.9 assists and 2.5 rebounds across 18.4 minutes per game during that stretch. However, he's at risk of missing Thursday's contest due to a bruised quad. If he sits, Rayan Rupert and Kris Murray could see more minutes.

Scores 19 points off bench Friday Banton supplied 19 points (7-17 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Friday's 141-99 loss to the Jazz.

Impact Banton had a strong performance Friday despite the 42-point loss, and even though his scoring prowess has rarely translated to wins for the Trail Blazers, it makes him a decent streaming option in most fantasy formats. Banton has been seeing the floor on a more consistent basis lately, and the numbers back that decision up. He's played at least 20 minutes in six of his last seven appearances, a span in which the former Nebraska standout is averaging 12.1 points, 3.1 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game while shooting 37.5 percent from deep.

Good to go Friday vs. Kings Banton (knee) is available for Friday's game against Sacramento, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.

NOVEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Downgraded to questionable Friday Banton is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Kings due to left knee soreness.

Impact Banton was a late addition to the injury report and will likely remain a game-time decision Saturday. The 25-year-old guard and Scoot Henderson (quad) were both late additions, and if either are unable to play, Rayan Rupert and Kris Murray (chest) could see an uptick in playing time off the bench.

NOVEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 11 points in loss Banton logged 11 points (4-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 24 minutes during Monday's 123-98 loss to Memphis.

Impact After totaling only eight points and shooting 2-for-15 from the field in his last two appearances, Banton recorded his 10th game with 10-plus points Monday. The 25-year-old still struggled with efficiency, though he did finish as one of five Blazers to reach the double-digit mark in points. Banton has carved out a significant role off the bench thus far, and he has played 20 or more minutes in seven of his last 10 appearances.

Scores season-high 23 points Banton supplied 23 points (9-19 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 26 minutes during Sunday's 114-110 win over the Hawks.

Impact Banton posted his best scoring output of the season in this win over the Hawks and continued his solid stretch of play, as he's scored in double digits coming off the bench in all but one of his nine November appearances. He's averaging 13.3 points, 3.0 assists and 2.2 rebounds per game in that span.

NOVEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Another solid outing Banton registered 13 points (4-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 106-98 victory over Minnesota.

Impact Banton has now posted double-digit points in seven of his last eight appearances. The 25-year-old guard has also recorded at least one steal and one block in four of those games, including Wednesday's win over Minnesota.

NOVEMBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Trail Blazers' Dalano Banton becomes a 4th-quarter marvel: 'You just got to stay ready' The 6-foot-9 forward has scored 32 points over the team's last two fourth quarters.

NOVEMBER 5, 2024 • OREGONLIVE.COM

Goes for 20 points Monday Banton ended with 20 points (8-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and two steals across 12 minutes during Monday's 118-100 win over New Orleans.

Impact Banton delivered explosive offense off the bench for the Trail Blazers, needing just 12 minutes to reach the 20-point plateau while missing just one shot from the field. Banton has been highly efficient for the Blazers since he's scored in double digits in his last three games despite not playing more than 12 minutes in any of them, but that streak of efficiency is bound to stop at some point. Ultimately, and regardless of how much of a scoring machine he can be, Banton shouldn't have a lot of upside if he's still playing under 15 minutes per contest.

NOVEMBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Will return to Portland The Trail Blazers picked up Banton's $2.2 million team option Saturday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact Banton will return to Portland after being acquired by the team via trade from the Celtics on Feb. 8. The 24-year-old balled out in his time with the Blazers, during which he averaged 16.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 0.9 steals over 30 regular-season games. Banton could be in for a significant role on a rebuilding team, especially if the Trail Blazers trade away any of their veteran players.

Drops 17 points in finale Banton racked up 17 points (6-26 FG, 0-15 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and three steals in 39 minutes before getting ejected from Sunday's 121-82 loss to the Kings.

Impact Banton came back to earth in the final game of the season, but there's no denying his prolific stat lines in the closing weeks of the season. Portland has a $2.2M team option for next season, snd his standout play may compel the organization to pick it up.

Tossed in finale Banton was ejected from Sunday's game against the Kings after receiving a Flagrant 2 foul with 3:30 left in the fourth quarter, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

Impact An abysmal shooting performance proceeded Banton's ejection, as he cemented himself in Trail Blazer history by becoming the first player to attempt 15 three-pointers without a make. Despite the disappointing end to the campaign, Banton made his mark and may have solidified an opportunity next season with his stellar play over the final two months of 2023-24. Since March 1 (23 appearances), Banton has averaged 18.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.7 blocks in 31.9 minutes per game.
