Records double-double in loss Clingan finished Monday's 110-102 loss to Detroit with 17 points (6-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-6 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and three blocks over 34 minutes.

Impact Clingan kept pace with Jalen Duren for most of the contest, but he was unable to contain the Detroit big man in the closing minutes. He was a key part of the fourth-quarter rally that erased a 21-point deficit, but he withered with the rest of the unit on the defensive end while the Pistons completed an 11-2 run at the end of the game.

Records double-double in victory Clingan produced 14 points (6-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 14 rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 30 minutes during Saturday's 98-93 win over Sacramento.

Impact Clingan finished with his seventh double-double of the season in the low-scoring affair, taking advantage of Sacramento's current woes at the center position. Although he endured a rocky return after a three-game absence, the second-year pro roared back to life with a 19-point outing in the front end of the two-game set against the Kings, and posted another big number Saturday night.

Trail Blazers beats Kings 98-93 to sweep home-and-home series

Extends range behind the arc Clingan finished with 19 points (6-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-13 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 35 minutes during Thursday's 134-133 overtime win over the Kings.

Impact Clingan was impressive overall against Sacramento. The Connecticut product is known for hitting the glass and protecting the rim, which he did Thursday to the tune of eight boards and two blocks. He also sank a pair of three-pointers which is huge for Portland's offense. If Clingan can draw rim protectors to the arc, it will open more space for players when driving to the paint. Portland has a rematch with the Kings in their next appearance on Saturday.

Brings defense in return Clingan (lower leg) recorded three points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, three blocks, three assists and one steal across 22 minutes Sunday in the Trail Blazers' 136-131 w...

Impact Portland plugged Clingan back into the starting five after he had missed the previous three contests due to a left lower leg contusion, but he wasn't asked to handle heavy minutes while interim head coach Tiago Splitter occasionally turned to either Sidy Cissoko or Jerami Grant to serve as small-ball centers when Clingan and top backup Robert Williams were off the court. Clingan was still able to make an impact in the defensive categories and on the glass during his time on the floor, but he continued to remain relatively uninvolved on offense. He's maintaining a modest 15 percent usage rate for the season and has reached double figures in scoring in just eight of his 22 appearances.

Will play Sunday Clingan (leg) is good to go for Sunday's game versus the Warriors, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.

Impact Clingan is set to return from a three-game absence, which could result in Jerami Grant heading back to the second unit. There will also be fewer minutes available for Robert Williams, Duop Reath and Yang Hansen.

Iffy for Sunday Clingan (lower leg) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Warriors.

Impact Clingan will look to snap a three-game absence due to a lower leg contusion. If the second-year center is cleared to play, Kris Murray is expected to slide back to the second unit. Over his last five appearances, Clingan has averaged 9.4 points, 10.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 blocks in 23.8 minutes per contest.

Could return Sunday Clingan (leg) is trending toward being available for Sunday's game against the Warriors, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

Impact Clingan has missed the Trail Blazers' last three games due to a lower leg contusion, but there is optimism that the second-year center is cleared to return Sunday. Kris Murray would likely revert to a bench role if Clingan is given the green light to play against Golden State.
