Downgraded to out Camara (illness) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Thunder, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.

Impact Camara will miss a second straight contest due to a non-COVID illness.

Iffy for Wednesday Camara (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.

Impact Camara was unable to play Monday against Minnesota, and he's in jeopardy of missing his second straight. Portland continues to deal with several key injuries, and Jerami Grant (quadriceps) is also questionable to suit up. If Camara is unable to play, Kris Murray could see another hefty workload for the Trail Blazers.

MARCH 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Downgraded to out Camara (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against Minnesota.

Impact Camara, Deandre Ayton (hand), Matisse Thybulle (hip) and Jerami Grant (quad) have all been downgraded to out, so Portland will be extremely shorthanded versus Minnesota. Dalano Banton, Jabari Walker, Kris Murray and Ashton Hagans are candidates for increased roles, but Anfernee Simons will have to lead Portland's offense.

MARCH 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Monday Camara is questionable to play Monday against the Timberwolves due to an illness.

Impact With Jerami Grant (quad) doubtful and Matisse Thybulle (hip) questionable, the Trail Blazers could be paper thin at the forward spots Monday evening. If all those guys are out, Jabari Walker and Dalano Banton could be forced to flirt with 40-plus minutes, so they are both on the radar as potential targets in daily fantasy leagues.

Records double-double Tuesday Camara totaled 17 points (6-12 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists in 32 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 106-96 loss to Miami.

Impact Camara's point total was third highest on the Blazers and the second highest of his career, trailing just his 18-point performance versus Utah on Dec. 14. The rookie also grabbed 10 boards to record his second double-double of the campaign. This was a very strong bounce-back effort for Camara after he averaged just 3.0 points on 27.3 percent shooting over his previous two games.

FEBRUARY 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Moves into starting lineup Camara will start Tuesday's game against Minnesota, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.

Impact Portland will move Jabari Walker to the bench as they roll with a smaller lineup Tuesday with Anfernee Simons (ankle) and Scoot Henderson (foot) back in action. As a starter this season, Camara holds averages of 7.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 0.9 three-pointers.

FEBRUARY 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Moves back to bench Saturday Camara is not in the starting lineup to face New Orleans on Saturday.

FEBRUARY 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

FEBRUARY 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Camara led all Portland bench players in scoring and rebounds while adding a team-high-tying pair of steals to provide a spark off the bench in a losing effort. Camara has finished in double figures in scoring in 11 games this season, his second such performance while coming off the bench.

JANUARY 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

JANUARY 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy against Dallas Camara (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Mavericks.

Impact Camara is in danger of missing his second straight game Wednesday due to right knee soreness. If the rookie forward is ruled out, Jabari Walker, Kris Murray and Ish Wainright could continue to receive extended minutes.

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

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

Will play against Spurs Camara (thumb) will play against the Spurs on Friday.

Impact Camara hasn't missed a game this season and will keep his streak alive after shaking his questionable tag. The rookie is averaging 7.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 0.8 three-pointers in 12 December games.

DECEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Friday Camara is questionable for Friday's game against the Spurs due to right thumb soreness.

Impact Camara hasn't yet missed a game this season, but he's dealing with a thumb injury before the second half of a back-to-back set. He played 21 minutes in Thursday's loss to San Antonio, logging one point and seven rebounds.

DECEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Available to face Warriors Camara (thumb) is available to face the Warriors on Saturday.

Impact Portland will be without Shaedon Sharpe (adductor) on Saturday, so Camara could be in line for another busy outing while presumably guarding the best opposing guard -- most likely Stephen Curry. Camara is averaging 9.2 points and 4.8 rebounds per game over his last five outings, all of them as a starter.

DECEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as probable Camara is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Warriors due to a right thumb sprain.

Impact Portland will again be without Shaedon Sharpe (adductor), and with Camara's injury appearing to be a minor setback, he's likely looking at heavy minutes. Coach Chauncey Billups has been challenging Camara to guard the best player on opposing teams, so he's bound to spend time on Stephen Curry during Saturday's game.

DECEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Season-high scoring effort Thursday Camara provided 18 points (7-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and six rebounds over 24 minutes during Thursday's 122-114 loss to the Jazz.

Impact Making his 14th straight start, Camera produced his best scoring performance of the season while also draining more than two three-pointers in a game for the first time. The 2023 second-round pick has taken advantage of various injuries and absences in the Portland lineup to keep his run in the starting five going, but he's averaging just 8.4 points, 4.8 boards, 1.1 threes, 1.0 assists and 0.9 steals over that stretch. Camera has proven to be a nice addition to the roster, but he's still far from fantasy relevance in most season-long formats.

Logs 14 points despite cold shot Camara accumulated 14 points (6-20 FG, 2-10 3Pt), nine rebounds and one steal in 32 minutes during Friday's 125-112 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Camara's presence inside helped what was an otherwise tepid night on the floor for Camara, who absorbed some of Deandre Ayton's (knee) production in the paint. Camara attempted an uncharacteristic 10 attempts beyond the arc with little success, but Jerami Grant's (concussion) wss the likely reason why Camara was bringing the frontcourt out on the perimeter.

DECEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Grabs season-high 13 rebounds Camara contributed six points (3-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt), 13 rebounds and two assists over 27 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 110-106 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Although Camara continues to struggle as a scorer, he picked up some of Deandre Ayton's (knee) missing output with the best rebound total of his pro career. The Dayton product is seeing first unit minutes right away in his rookie season, but he'll needs to improve his production to gain fantasy relevancy.
