Ruled out Thursday Hansen (face) will not play Thursday against the Pelicans.

Iffy for Thursday Hansen is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against New Orleans due to a face contusion.

Impact Hansen made his first career start Sunday due to the absences of Donovan Clingan (leg) and Robert Williams (illness). He seemingly picked up what appears to be a minor face injury during the outing. Clingan remains out and Williams is questionable due to the same ailments, which means Hansen could be in line for another significant workload if available.

Fails to impress in spot start Hansen closed with four points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists across 19 minutes during Sunday's 119-96 loss to Memphis.

Impact Donovan Clingan (leg) and Robert Williams (illness) were both unavailable Sunday, which allowed Hansen to claim his first career start. However, the rookie first-rounder didn't make a big impact in the box score, and he also got into foul trouble with five of them. Portland is likely to evaluate Clingan and Williams on a day-to-day basis, meaning Hansen's stay in the first unit could be short-lived.
