Leaves game with finger issue Walker left Thursday's game versus the Spurs with a finger issue and went to the locker room, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.

Impact Walker appeared to jam a finger on his right hand and was consulting with a trainer on his way to the back. Hopefully he's able to carry on, as the Trail Blazers are already shorthanded.

Late scratch Thursday Reath is a late scratch for Thursday's game against the Spurs due to lower back soreness.

Impact This is a tough blow for Portland, as they are again without Deandre Ayton (knee). Reath is coming off the best performance of his career on Tuesday, as he erupted for 25 points (9-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, one block and one steal in 32 minutes. Moses Brown will start at center and is likely looking at a significant workload.

Starting against Spurs Henderson will draw the start against the Spurs on Thursday, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.

Impact Anfernee Simons will not play Thursday due to an illness, allowing Henderson to make his sixth start of the season. In five previous starts, Henderson averaged 8.8 points, 4.6 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 4.0 turnovers on 34.6 percent shooting from the field and 85.7 percent from the line.

Won't play against Spurs Simons (illness) will be held out of Thursday's game against the Spurs, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.

Impact Simons was a late addition to the injury report Thursday and isn't feeling well enough to give it a go. It remains to be seen if he'll be able to play in Friday's rematch against the Spurs, so for now, consider him questionable. With Simons out, Scoot Henderson will make his sixth start of his rookie campaign.

DECEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Late addition to injury report Simons is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Spurs due to an illness.

Impact Simons is in danger of missing his first game Thursday since Dec. 2 after being a late addition to the injury report with a general illness. If Simons is ultimately downgraded to out, Scoot Henderson, Malcolm Brogdon and Skylar Mays are candidates to receive increased minutes.

Still sidelined Sharpe (thigh) won't play in Thursday's game against San Antonio.

Impact Sharpe has been absent since Dec. 19, when he strained his right adductor. During his absence, Malcolm Brogdon has stepped into the starting lineup, and will likely do so again Thursday. Sharpe will have an opportunity to return for the tail end of Portland's back-to-back Friday.

DECEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out again Thursday Ayton (knee) won't play in Thursday's game against the Spurs.

Impact Ayton will miss a second straight tilt with a right knee injury. However, with Thursday's tilt being the opener in a back-to-back set, he may be set up for a Friday return. Regardless, Duop Reath and Moses Brown should see expanded workloads Thursday.

Brings defense in win Thybulle finished with six points (2-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists, two steals and two blocks across 26 minutes in Tuesday's 130-113 win over the Kings.

Impact Even though he hasn't started in any of the last six games while the Trail Blazers have reclaimed health on the wing, Thybulle has still been delivering in the defensive categories as a bench player. During that six-game stretch, he's averaging a whopping 2.3 steals and 1.5 blocks in just 21.7 minutes per contest. Due to his offensive limitations, Thybulle's fantasy value is unlikely to take another jump forward, but he could earn a slight uptick in playing time if starting small forward Toumani Camara loses the trust of the coaching staff.

Rebounds well, does little else Brown accrued zero points (0-1 FG, 0-2 3Pt), 11 rebounds, one steal and one block across 14 minutes in Tuesday's 130-113 win over the Kings.

Impact After being outside of the Portland rotation in each of the previous five games, Brown was surprisingly handed the starting nod over the team's normal No. 2 center, Duop Reath, while Deandre Ayton (knee) was sidelined. Reath still ended up seeing the bulk of the minutes at center and poured in a career-high 25 points to go with nine rebounds in 32 minutes, but Brown wasn't a total zero for those that streamed him for rebounds and blocks. Even so, Brown will likely find himself back outside of the rotation Thursday against the Spurs if Ayton is cleared to play.

Makes late-game cameo Wainright played the final 1:56 of Tuesday's 130-113 win over the Kings, finishing with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound.

Impact After missing extensive time with an MCL sprain, Wainright was cleared to return to game action for Portland in mid-December, but it wasn't until the team's last two contests that he went used off the bench. On both occasions, Wainright checked into the game at the tail end of blowouts. He doesn't appear in line to get a look in head coach Chauncey Billups' rotation anytime soon.
