Scores six points in return Sharpe provided six points (2-8 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one assist in 18 minutes during Monday's 109-88 loss to Phoenix.

Impact Sharpe had missed the previous five games for Portland due to a thigh injury, so he had heavy restrictions Monday night. He struggled to find his rhythm too, missing all five of his three-point attempts. Portland's next game is Wednesday versus Dallas, and Sharpe will likely have his restrictions eased for that one.

Nearly double-doubles Walker totaled 10 points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), nine rebounds and one steal over 25 minutes during Monday's 109-88 loss to the Suns.

Impact Portland has been without Deandre Ayton (knee) for the past four games, and he didn't travel with the team for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks. Walker has really stepped up for the shorthanded Trail Blazers lately, and over his last four games he averaged 14.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 0.5 blocks in 26.7 minutes. During that stretch, Walker has been a ninth-round value in standard fantasy formats.

Sharpe available, Camara out for Blazers at Suns: Live updates, time, TV channel The Blazers start a seven-game trip at the Phoenix Suns.

JANUARY 2, 2024 • OREGONLIVE.COM

Starting Monday Thybulle is in the starting lineup Monday against Phoenix.

Impact Thybulle starts in place of Toumani Camara (knee) on Monday, although Thybulle is averaging just 21.6 minutes across 12 starts this season. His defensive specialist role typically tops out at 25-30 minutes, even when he's playing with the first unit.

JANUARY 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Available for Monday Murray (thumb) has been cleared to play Monday against the Suns.

Impact Murray was labeled as doubtful due to a left thumb sprain, but in a surprising turn of events, he'll be available off the bench for Monday's clash. He hasn't factored much into the rotation so far this season, averaging 2.5 points and 1.7 rebounds in 10.1 minutes (15 games).

JANUARY 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not traveling with team Ayton (knee) didn't travel with the team for Wednesday's game against Dallas, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact The Suns have yet to officially rule Ayton out for Wednesday's clash, but this is a pretty good indication that the big man will miss at least one more contest. Per Rankin, Ayton stayed in Phoenix to receive "rigorous treatment" as he attempts to return to play as soon as possible.

JANUARY 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Confirmed out Reath (back) won't play Monday against the Suns, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact Reath was added to the injury report as doubtful, so this update isn't a real surprise. His next opportunity to return will arrive Wednesday in Dallas.

JANUARY 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Monday Camara (knee) is inactive for Monday's game against Phoenix, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact Camara will miss his first game of the season and snap a streak of 22 straight starts for Portland. Matisse Thybulle and Jabari Walker are likely due for slight upticks in playing time, while Camara's next opportunity to take the court comes Wednesday against Dallas.

JANUARY 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to play, will be restricted Sharpe (thigh) is available for Monday's game against Phoenix, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact Sharpe will return from a five-game absence due to a sprained adductor. Anfernee Simons (illness) and Toumani Camara (knee) are out, but Sharpe will be on an unspecified minutes restriction, per coach Chauncey Billups, and it's unclear if he'll immediately slot back into the starting lineup Monday.

JANUARY 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful for Monday Murray is doubtful for Monday's game against the Suns due to a left thumb sprain.

Impact Murray made only five appearances in December despite Portland dealing with several key injuries. His expected absence Monday isn't likely to impact the rotation.

Unlikely to play Reath (back) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Suns.

Impact Reath is expected to miss a third straight game for Portland. Deandre Ayton (knee) will miss a fourth straight game, so the Trail Blazers will rely on a combination of Jabari Walker, Ibou Badji and Moses Brown at center.

JANUARY 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with knee soreness Camara has some right knee soreness and is questionable for Monday's game versus the Suns.

Impact This is a new injury for the rookie, but he's considered day-to-day. He's coming off one of the best games of his season Friday against the Spurs, as he produced 13 points, 11 rebounds, two assists, three steals and one three-pointer in 36 minutes. Portland will be missing Anfernee Simons (illness) and Deandre Ayton (knee) again, but Shaedon Sharpe (groin) has been upgraded to questionable.

JANUARY 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Considered questionable Monday Sharpe (thigh) has been upgraded to questionable for Monday's game against the Suns.

Impact The Trail Blazers have been without Sharpe for five straight games, but the second-year guard is getting closer to a return. Portland will be missing Anfernee Simons (illness) and Deandre Ayton (knee) for Monday's game, so Sharpe will have to step right back into a massive role if he gets the green light. He's been terrific this season, posting averages of 16.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 0.9 steals and 2.1 three-pointers.

JANUARY 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Will not play Monday Simons (illness) will not play in Monday's game versus the Suns.

Impact Simons and Deandre Ayton (knee) are sitting out for Portland, while Shaedon Sharpe (groin) is questionable. Malcolm Brogdon is likely going to see another heavy workload for the Trail Blazers, as he's played at least 37 minutes in three of his past four appearances. Scoot Henderson will have more opportunities as well, and he's coming off arguably the best game of his season with 22 points, 11 assists, seven rebounds, one steal, one block and three triples against the Spurs on Friday.
