According to Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com, head coach Chauncey Billups said Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (ankle) practiced Tuesday and could "potentially" play in Wednesday's exhibition contest against Ratiopharm Ulm. Simons has been dealing with minor ankle soreness. If he can't go on Wednesday, the 25-year-old will have another chance to suit up on Friday for Portland's final preseason game. The guard could significantly impact fantasy this season after coming off a strong 2023-24 campaign, averaging 22.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 5.5 assists across just 46 games. His season was limited due to ankle and knee injuries.
Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. Simons will miss his seventh consecutive game thanks to his left knee still limiting him. Portland's season ending in disappointment could see them be cautious and sit down Simons for the final week, but he certainly made a mark when he played. Simons is averaging a career-high 22.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 3.4 three-pointers made per game this season. The absence of Simons will allow overlooked names like Rayan Rupert and Dalano Banton to continue impressing with the extra minutes.
Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (knee) will be out of the lineup for a sixth consecutive game on Wednesday versus Charlotte. Portland's leading scorer continues to deal with a left knee problem. Dalano Banton should be fired up by fantasy managers again on Wednesday, while Rayan Rupert will likely earn another start. The 19-year-old has averaged an underwhelming 7.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 3.2 assists in a starting role, but Banton has exploded for a number of big efforts lately. A meeting with the league's second-worst defense puts him in a perfect spot to crush it again.
Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (knee) will sit out a fifth consecutive contest on Monday versus Orlando. He's battling left knee tendinitis and will get the next opportunity to return on Wednesday against Charlotte. Simons' injury has opened up playing time and usage to Rayan Rupert and Dalano Banton. The latter has had a couple of special outings lately and did well throughout last month. Across 17 March outings, Banton averaged 17.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 3.5 assists with 2.3 made triples. On Monday, Rupert and Banton will be in a tricky spot to perform, as only Minnesota allows fewer made shots per game than Orlando.
Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (knee) will not play in Friday's game against the Miami Heat. This will be the fourth consecutive game he will sit out because of left knee tendinitis. Portland could be very short-handed on Friday, as they have injuries to both their backcourt and frontcourt. His absence has led to increased opportunities for Rayan Rupert and Ashton Hagans. The most significant beneficiary of Simons being sidelined is Dalano Banton, who scored more than 28 points in consecutive games. Fantasy owners will have to monitor Simons' injury status moving forward. The next chance for him to suit up will be Monday when the Trail Blazers play against the Orlando Magic.
