Deandre Ayton's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (back) will play on Sunday versus the Bulls. He was sidelined for Saturday's loss to the Rockets because of low back soreness. While the 26-year-old was in danger of missing another contest, he'll be back on the floor on Sunday night. With Donovan Clingan (ankle) and Robert Williams III (ankle) both out, Ayton will get all the minutes he can handle, with Jabari Walker, amassing 10 points and five rebounds on Saturday night, in line to remain involved from off the bench.

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (back) has been added to the injury report ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Houston Rockets. He recently recorded 14 points and seven rebounds against the Los Angeles Clippers. But the 26-year-old is now in danger of missing this one because of low back soreness. With Donovan Clingan (ankle) already ruled out, Robert Williams III may find himself in the starting lineup if Ayton isn't available. If that's the case, Williams must be included in all fantasy lineups.

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (calf) is off the injury report and ready to return to action on Tuesday against Brooklyn. After logging 48 minutes across a back-to-back set, Ayton missed Saturday's game against Miami due to calf soreness. However, it was not a serious issue, as Ayton participated fully in Monday's practice. The former first-overall pick has been quiet in his most recent outings, but Ayton is averaging a double-double for the campaign with 13.9 points and 10.1 rebounds. The Nets allow the 10th-most fantasy points to opposing centers, so Tuesday's game looks like a good opportunity for Ayton to regain momentum.
