Dalano Banton News, Rumors, Updates - LA Clippers

Shows up with 16 points in loss Banton totaled 16 points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-10 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 121-109 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Blanton had his best scoring total of the season in the loss and has logged more than 20 minutes for two consecutive games. The Nebraska product failed to catch on in Toronto and Boston, but he's finds himself in the best possible position with a team focused on a youth-based rebuild. Blanton isn't relevant as a fantasy target yet, but he will see more minutes if Portland's injury-riddled roster continues to be an issue.

Available Saturday Banton (recently traded) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact After being acquired from the Celtics on Thursday, Banton looks like he'll be available to make his Trail Blazers debut two days later. Banton projects to be outside of the Portland rotation when the Trail Blazers have close to their full complement of guards available, but he could be needed to fill some minutes out of the backcourt Saturday with Shaedon Sharpe (abdomen) and Anfernee Simons (ankle) ruled out and Malcolm Brogdon (illness) and Scott Henderson (foot) listed as questionable.

Traded to Portland Banton was traded from the Celtics to the Trail Blazers on Thursday in exchange for a protected second-round pick, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact Banton was moved back and forth between the G League and parent club in recent weeks and was on the fringes of Boston's rotation. He averaged 2.3 points and 1.5 rebounds in 7.1 minutes per game over 24 appearances in the NBA to begin the year and will attempt to carve out a role in Portland.

We called the Boston Boston recalled Banton from the G League's Maine Celtics on Saturday.

Impact Banton did not appear in Saturday's game after logging 18 minutes in Thursday's blowout loss to Milwaukee. He continues to profile as end-of-bench wing depth for the Celtics.

JANUARY 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Rare appearance Friday Banton notched two points (1-1 FG) across two minutes during Friday's 120-118 win over the Raptors.

Impact Banton cracked the rotation for just the third time in the past 10 games, scoring two points for the third straight game. With three key pieces on the sideline, the Celtics were forced to go deep into their rotation, hence the playing time for Banton. Even in the deepest of leagues, Banton has no fantasy value.

Cleared to play Banton (illness) is available for Sunday's game against the Magic, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Impact Banton will be available after missing Friday's win over Orlando. However, he's not a regular part of the rotation, so he may not see any playing time during Sunday's rematch.

DECEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Sunday Banton (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Magic.

Impact Banton is in danger of missing his second straight contest Sunday due to a non-COVID illness. However, the 24-year-old guard hasn't been a consistent part of Boston's rotation, even when available.

DECEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Friday Banton has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Magic due to a non-COVID illness.

Impact Banton fell out of the Celtics' rotation over the past few matchups, and he'll be unable to suit up Friday due to his illness. His next chance to return will be in a rematch against Orlando on Sunday, but his absence shouldn't significantly impact Boston's game plan.

DECEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Moves back to bench Banton isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Bulls.

Impact After recovering from his ankle injury, Jrue Holiday will replace Banton in the starting five Tuesday. Banton is averaging 2.5 points and 1.8 rebounds in 6.2 minutes across his previous six appearances coming off the bench this season.

Celtics Praise Neemias Queta and Dalano Banton in Win vs. Hawks Dalano Banton and Neemias Queta made a big impact in the Boston Celtics’ victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday night.

NOVEMBER 27, 2023 • SUNHERALD.COM

Makes first start of season Banton racked up eight points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one assist in 19 minutes during Sunday's 113-103 win over the Hawks.

Impact This was the first start of the season for Banton, and just the third of his career. Jrue Holiday (ankle) missed his second straight game, so Banton got a rare opportunity to play extended minutes with Al Horford moving into Kristaps Porzingis' (calf, out) spot in the lineup. Holiday is day-to-day and Porzingis is expected to miss at least a week, so it will be interesting to see if Banton can carve out more rotation minutes.

NOVEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Thanks to Neemias Queta and Dalano Banton, the bench has justified getting more minutes for the evolving Celtics - The Boston Globe Queta supplied 7 points and 10 rebounds in 15 minutes, while Banton scored 8 points in 19 minutes.

Will start Sunday Banton will start Sunday's game against the Hawks, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Impact Al Horford will take Kristaps Porzingis' (calf) spot in the starting lineup, while Banton replaces Jrue Holiday (ankle). Banton made just three starts over the previous two campaigns with Toronto, so this is an unfamiliar role for the 2021 second-round pick. Banton has played double-digit minutes just once this season, averaging 6.2 minutes per game across six appearances.

NOVEMBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Debuts in blowout win Banton accumulated two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 10 minutes during Monday's 126-107 win over the Wizards.

Impact Banton entered the contest during second-half garbage time well after Boston built a big lead in the first quarter. Monday marked the reserve's first minutes as a Celtic. It didn't go well. In a game Boston won by 19, Banton produced a point differential of minus-17 over just 10 minutes. In addition to Boston's stacked starting lineup, Banton is behind reserves Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser. The former Raptor will probably earn limited and sporadic minutes throughout the season.

Full performance in loss Banton posted 20 points (8-19 FG, 1-5 3Pt 3-3 FT), two rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes during Monday's 114-107 preseason loss to the Knicks.

Impact With Boston's key cast of starters resting, Banton led the Celtics in playing time and shot attempts. The 23-year-old has good size to make an impact on the wings for Boston, but he topped out at 29.4 percent three-point shooting last season. He'll likely need to provide better shooting to see the court for meaningful stretches.

Impact After missing early portions of Summer League with a finger injury, Banton made his Celtics debut Wednesday.

However, Banton managed to dish out six assists without coughing up a turnover, showcasing his playmaking ability at 6-foot-7.
