3 Major observations from Vit Krejci's intriguing Blazers debut Vit Krejci, the newest Trail Blazer, showcased exactly how he can help Portland win.

Records two steals in team debut Krejci (ankle) recorded five points (2-7 FG, 1-6 3Pt), two steals and one assist across 14 minutes in Tuesday's 130-125 loss to the Suns.

Impact Krejci had been tending to an ankle sprain before the Hawks traded him to the Trail Blazers on Sunday, but the 25-year-old was quickly able to move past the injury to make his Portland debut Tuesday. He ended up claiming a rotational role right off the bat, and while he struggled to connect from downtown, Krejci made an impact on the defensive side with a pair of steals. The Trail Blazers could get Deni Avdija (back) and Scoot Henderson (hamstring) back from injuries as soon as this weekend, so Krejci may be at risk of losing his spot in the rotation when the team is at full strength.

Ready for Portland debut Krejci (ankle) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against Phoenix.

Impact Krejci suffered a left ankle sprain shortly before being dealt from the Hawks to the Blazers, but he's evidently put the injury behind him. He'll presumably see playing time off the bench behind Shaedon Sharp and Toumani Camara, though it remains to be seen how involved Krejci will be in his first appearance with Portland.

Why Hawks traded Vit Krejci to Trail Blazers for underwhelming return | Sporting News Atlanta made some trade news on Sunday.

Traded to Portland The Hawks traded Krejci (ankle) to the Trail Blazers on Sunday in exchange for Duop Reath (foot) and two future second-round picks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Krejci started against the Rockets on Jan. 29, posting nine points (4-7 FG), four rebounds, one assist and a steal in 27 minutes, but he was in street clothes due to an ankle injury during Saturday's loss in Indiana. His role has been inconsistent this season, and with Zaccharie Risacher (knee) healthy again and Corey Kispert coming over in a trade, Krejci was going to be blocked for playing time in Atlanta. While Portland has a ton of wing depth, they don't have many knockdown shooters, so Krejci, who's shot at least 40 percent from deep in three straight seasons, could carve out a role as a specialist once he moves past his ankle issue.

Ruled out Saturday Krejci (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Pacers.

Impact Krejci was a late addition to the injury report Saturday due to a left ankle sprain, and he'll miss his first game since Oct. 31. His next opportunity to play will come Tuesday against the Heat. Luke Kennard and Corey Kispert are candidates for a slight bump in minutes due to Krejci being sidelined.

JANUARY 31 • ROTOWIRE

Late addition to injury report Krejci is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Pacers due to a left ankle sprain.

Impact Krejci was a late addition to the injury report, which isn't a positive sign for his availability. The 25-year-old will likely be a game-time decision ahead of tipoff at 7:00 p.m. ET, and if he isn't cleared to suit up, Luke Kennard and Corey Kispert would be candidates for increased minutes.

Running with first unit Krejci is starting Thursday's game against the Rockets, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.

Impact Krejci will join the starting lineup with Zaccharie Risacher (knee), Jalen Johnson (calf) and Onyeka Okongwu (mouth) all ruled out for Atlanta. Krjeci started five consecutive games for the Hawks earlier in January and averaged 5.4 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 steals in 21.8 minutes.

Joins second unit Krejci will come off the bench for Monday's game against the Bucks, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Krejci has been trending in the wrong direction for several weeks, so the Hawks will shake things up Monday -- Corey Kispert is getting the starting nod with the team looking to deploy more shooting.

JANUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Poor production continues Krejci produced three points (1-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), one rebound and one steal in 19 minutes during Saturday's 132-106 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Krejci failed to score double digits for the fifth time in the past six games, despite the fact that Atlanta was dealing with multiple injuries. Outside of a handful of promising performances, Krejci has been mostly underwhelming thus far this season, averaging 9.8 points and 2.5 three-pointers in 23.8 minutes per game.
