Held to two points Ayton had two points (1-4 FG) and eight rebounds in 24 minutes during Tuesday's 132-114 loss to the Nets.

Impact After returning from a one-game absence due to left calf soreness, Ayton had a nightmare showing as he was held to a season-low two points.

Sitting Saturday vs. Miami Ayton (calf) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Heat, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.

Impact Ayton popped up on Friday's injury report due to left calf soreness, and it appears he'll need to sit out of Saturday's contest in order to avoid aggravating the injury. His next opportunity to play will be Tuesday against the Nets. With Ayton and Robert Williams (illness) both out, Donovan Clingan will get the start at center.

Working through calf soreness Ayton (calf) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Heat.

Impact Ayton played just 21 minutes during the Trail Blazers' 117-111 loss to the Mavericks on Sunday, which could partially have been due to a left calf issue. Donovan Clingan and Robert Williams (rest) would be in line for more minutes Saturday if Ayton is unable to play.

Sees reduced playing time Ayton logged six points (3-6 FG), six rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 21 minutes during Thursday's 117-111 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Despite starting, Ayton logged just 21 minutes compared to Donovan Clingan's 24. Ayton is still producing at a level, averaging 13.2 points, 10.0 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.2 blocks in 29.3 minutes across his last 10 appearances. However, it is worth monitoring to see if the 26-year-old center continues to have his playing time reduced.

JANUARY 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Dominates paint in double-double Ayton chipped in 18 points (9-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 11 rebounds, four assists and one block in 35 minutes during Monday's 118-115 loss to Detroit.

Impact Ayton held things down in the paint for Portland in Monday's outing, leading all players in rebounds while ending as the lone player with a double-double in a losing effort. Ayton notched his 15th double-double of the season, doing so in six of his last 10 outings and in two straight contests.

JANUARY 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Monday Ayton (rest) is listed as available for Monday's matchup against the Pistons.

Impact Ayton will suit up after he was originally deemed questionable due to rest purposes. The big man has appeared in eight consecutive contests for the Trail Blazers, during which he has averaged 14.0 points, 10.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.5 blocks across 30.6 minutes per contest.

Iffy for Monday Ayton is questionable for Monday's game against the Pistons due to rest purposes.

Missed opportunity vs. Los Angeles Ayton recorded six points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), six rebounds and one assist across 21 minutes during Thursday's 114-106 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Ayton had the ideal opportunity to shine against the Lakers, who were without Anthony Davis (ankle) on Thursday. The veteran big man failed to take advantage of Davis missing the game, adding to a mediocre stretch after starting the season with eight double-doubles in the Blazers' first nine games.

JANUARY 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Efficient in loss Monday Ayton ended with 12 points (6-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 30 minutes during Monday's 125-103 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Ayton had a tough matchup on both ends of the court since he had to deal with Joel Embiid, but at least he posted a solid stat line while showing an efficient touch near the rim. Ayton couldn't extend his double-double streak to three games, but the veteran continues to be a reliable option down low for the Blazers. Since returning from a two-game absence due to an illness on Dec. 19, Ayton is averaging 16.0 points and 10.7 rebounds per game over his last six appearances.

DECEMBER 31, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Ayton was effective against Dallas' interior as the opponent continued to operate without Dereck Lively's (hip) services. Saturday proved to be a great opportunity to steal a win against a short-handed Mavericks squad , and Ayton had field day with his second-highest scoring total and his best rebounding result of the season.

DECEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Flirts with double-double in loss Ayton racked up 16 points (8-11 FG), nine rebounds and two steals across 26 minutes during Monday's 132-108 loss to Dallas.

Impact Although Ayton failed to exceed the double-double threshold, he's averaged 15 points and 10 rebounds since returning from a two-game absence. Ayton has missed nine games due to a finger injury and an illness, but the Trail Blazers managed a 4-5 record without his contribution. The team will need consistent nights from Ayton as they struggle to stay relevant in the Western Conference.

DECEMBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Posts double-double in return Ayton had 15 points (7-14 FG, 1-2 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists, four blocks and one steal in 35 minutes during Thursday's 126-124 win over the Nuggets.

Impact Ayton returned after dealing with a non-COVID illness that required a two-game absence. He seemed to be 100 percent, logging 35 minutes while matching his third-highest rebound total of the season. Ayton began the season with a five-game double-double streak, and he could be on his way to build another run now that he is back in action.

Good to go Ayton (illness) will play Thursday against the Nuggets.

Impact Ayton has been battling an illness for over a week, but it won't keep him out of Thursday's matchup. He'll presumably return to the starting lineup after gaining clearance to play, which would bump Donovan Clingan back to a bench role.

Impact Ayton is at risk of missing a third straight game due to an illness. However, the big man was able to participate in Tuesday's practice, which is a positive sign for his availability Thursday. If active, Ayton would likely reclaim the starting center spot from Donovan Clingan.

Practices Tuesday Ayton (illness) practiced Tuesday, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.

Impact After missing two straight games due to an illness, it appears Ayton is trending in the right direction ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Nuggets.

Impact Ayton will miss a second straight contest after not suiting up in Friday's loss to the Spurs. Donovan Clingan is not on the injury report for Sunday, so he might get the start at center instead of Jabari Walker. Ayton's next chance to play will come against the Nuggets on Thursday.

Won't play Friday Ayton (illness) is out for Friday's game against the Spurs, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

Impact Ayton will miss a game for the first time since Nov. 25 due to this illness, and this means the Blazers will be extremely thin when it comes to their frontcourt depth. Ayton and Robert Williams (not injury related) are out, while Donovan Clingan will be on a minutes' restriction, so Jabari Walker will get the start at center. Ayton's next chance to play will come against Phoenix on Sunday.

In his last six outings, the big man has averaged 16.0 points, 9.0 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.3 blocks across 32.0 minutes per game. The Trail Blazers could be shorthanded in the frontcourt Friday with Ayton, Donovan Clingan (knee), Robert Williams (concussion) and Duop Reath (back) all landing on the injury report.
