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

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (elbow) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The big man continues to miss time due to a left elbow issue. The assumption is that Duop Reath will move into the starting five on Saturday. He finished with 13 points, three rebounds, and two steals in 27 minutes of action during their last game. He'll be worth a look as a streaming option until Ayton gets back on the court.

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (elbow) could miss a second consecutive game on Saturday against Denver after the team listed him as doubtful on the injury report. Ayton was a late addition to the injury report on Friday ahead of a meeting with the Clippers and couldn't go due to a left elbow problem. Duop Reath took over as the starting center and tallied 13 points with three rebounds and a pair of steals. He appears poised for another start on Saturday against a Nikola Jokic-less Nuggets if Ayton can't shake off his injury. The 27-year-old has recorded 13.7 points and 5.8 rebounds in 17 starts overall this season.

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (elbow) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The oft-injured big man will sit this one out as he continues to recover from left elbow tendinitis. His absence should mean that Duop Reath will move into the starting unit. As a starter, Reath is usually a viable streaming option. He doesn't offer great upside, but is worth a look with Ayton out of the picture.

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (elbow) is a late addition to the injury report and was listed as questionable with left elbow tendinitis. He wasn't on the injury report at all until the team's official account announced he was added right before the 4:30 PM reports came out. Since the team isn't competing for much and with how late this injury addition was, it doesn't seem very likely that he's going to suit up in this game. Ayton is should be started if he does play, but if he watches from the sidelines, Duop Reath would take over in the starting five while Moses Brown gets some added minutes off of the bench.

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton put in a dominant performance against Atlanta on Wednesday, scoring a season-high 33 points and grabbing 19 rebounds in a 106-102 win. He shot 15-for-20 from the field during a busy 41-minute night and completed his line with one assist, one steal, and one block. Ayton has sleepwalked through most of his first campaign in Portland, but he's looked great since returning to the lineup from his most recent injury. Across three games, Ayton has produced 28.3 points while gobbling up 17.3 rebounds. He faces a big test next against the Knicks, who are giving up the second-fewest points and rebounds in the league to centers.
