Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (calf) has been listed as out for Tuesday's meeting with the Atlanta Hawks. The Trail Blazers have been without Ayton since Feb. 10, and it remains unclear when or if Ayton will return this season. Donovan Clingan will continue to operate as the starting center, with Duop Reath providing backup. In 30 starts during his rookie campaign, Clingan has averaged 7.3 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 2.2 blocks in 23.7 minutes. His offensive game is clearly not yet good enough for this level, as he has made only one field goal over the past two games, but Clingan is busy on the glass and an intimidating presence on the defensive end.

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (calf) will remain sidelined for Thursday's tilt against the Sacramento Kings. The former first-overall pick last took the court on Feb. 10 and is nursing a left calf strain. On Feb. 12, the team announced that Ayton would be re-evaluated in four weeks, but there have been no updates on him. The big man will sit out a 20th straight game. Donovan Clingan will continue to start at center, with Duop Reath providing backup. Clingan's averages as a starter stand at 7.8 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 2.3 blocks.

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (calf) won't play against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday. Ayton has averaged 14.5 points and 10.4 rebounds per game in 39 games during the 2024-25 season. Prior to his left calf injury, Ayton played an instrumental role for the Blazers from January 19 to February 8, averaging 17.9 points on 57.4% shooting, along with 12 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.0 block per game. Donovan Clingan will remain the starting center in Ayton's absence.

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (calf) has been ruled out for at least four weeks. He suffered a left calf strain in Monday's contest against the Denver Nuggets. This is a bitter blow for Ayton, who has performed well in 2025. Donovan Clingan will take over from Ayton as the starting center in Wednesday's rematch against the Nuggets. The 7-foot-2 rookie has averaged 6.8 points, 9.9 rebounds, and 2.9 blocks in 22.1 minutes as a starter. Robert Williams III (knee) might also see increased usage during Ayton's absence; however, health issues have restricted him to just eight appearances since the beginning of the year, and Williams III is currently out of the lineup due to right knee soreness.

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Ayton sustained a left calf strain against the Nuggets on Monday and will have to sit out Wednesday's rematch because of the injury. Donovan Clingan is set to slide into the starting unit, with Robert Williams III potentially seeing more action off the bench if he can play. The team has listed Williams III as questionable. Following a quiet spell, Clingan tallied 21 points and seven rebounds in 21 minutes on Monday.

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (knee) has been upgraded to available ahead of Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Ayton is back in the mix following a three-game absence due to left knee soreness. There is no word on Ayton being limited, so the expectation is that he'll have his normal workload on Tuesday. His return to the court should shift Donovan Clingan back to the bench. Clingan should see reduced playing time which will make him a less appealing fantasy option. Fantasy managers should go ahead and get Ayton active in their lineups ahead of Tuesday's tip-off.

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. The former No. 1 pick has been sidelined for three games with a knee sprain. Donovan Clingan and Robert Williams III have shared the center duties with Ayton unavailable. Clingan has been the preferred option in the starting lineup, but Williams III outplayed him in Sunday's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. The former Celtic has recorded double-digit rebounds in back-to-back outings. Clingan entered Sunday with a four-game run of double-digit rebounds but grabbed just six boards against the Thunder and finished scoreless.

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (knee) will miss the second half of the team's back-to-back on Friday while he continues to deal with a left knee sprain. The 26-year-old has missed 12 games (will be 13) due to various injuries this season, so Robert Williams III, Donovan Clingan (ankle), and even Duop Reath have all seen some opportunities. Clingan is considered probable in the matchup against the Hornets, while Williams has been ruled out, which moves him into streaming territory. In his last start against the Heat, Clingan dropped eight points, 10 rebounds, one assist, two blocks, and one steal.

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (knee) won't play on Thursday night against Orlando. The 26-year-old has battled multiple issues of late. However, he'll miss Thursday's contest because of left knee soreness. It's unknown how severe the ailment is, so it's tough to tell if he'll be available on Friday against Charlotte. With Donovan Clingan (ankle) also sidelined, Robert Williams III, averaging 5.0 points, 3.5 boards, 3.0 blocks, and 1.0 steals in two starts during the 2024-25 campaign, will likely fill the void in the rotation.

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (knee) is questionable to play against Orlando on Thursday night. The 26-year-old has appeared on the league's official injury report for various reasons over the last few weeks. However, he's in danger of missing this one because of knee soreness. Donovan Clingan (ankle) remains out, so the Blazers need Ayton on the floor. But if he can't suit up, Robert Williams III, averaging 5.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.0 blocks, and 1.0 steals in two starts this season, is the favorite to fill the hole in the lineup. While those numbers haven't made him a viable fantasy contributor, his value could rise if Anfernee Simons (back) and Toumani Camara (illness) aren't available.

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.

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (calf) has been ruled out for Saturday's contest against Miami. He's out for the first time in 12 games, missing the action due to left calf soreness. Robert Williams (illness) isn't available either for Saturday's game, giving Donovan Clingan an opportunity to show what he can do with a bigger workload. He's been confirmed as a starter for the game. The rookie giant has previously averaged 8.0 points, 10.0 rebounds, and 3.0 blocks as a member of the first unit.

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (rest) is available ahead of Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons. As expected, Ayton will suit up for this game after being listed as probable coming into this contest. The expectation is that Ayton will have his normal role in the rotation. Ayton has produced four double-doubles over his last eight games. When healthy, Ayton has been a reliable contributor, but keeping him on the court has been the biggest problem. Donovan Clingan figures to continue serving as the primary backup which is usually only minutes in the teens.

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (illness) was able to practice on Tuesday, signaling he could be ready to return to the lineup on Thursday versus Denver. An illness has kept Ayton out for two games. Donovan Clingan and Jabari Walker have filled in for Ayton in the starting unit. The Portland big man has averaged a double-double for the season with 14.2 points and 10.0 rebounds, but he can't seem to stay healthy, missing nine games already this term. If he's ready to return on Thursday, Ayton will, of course, find himself in a very challenging matchup against Nikola Jokic.

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (illness) won't play on Sunday night against the Phoenix Suns. The 26-year-old hasn't been feeling the best, so he'll miss a second-straight game on Sunday. Fortunately, the Blazers won't play again until Thursday evening, giving Ayton a few more days to feel better. Without him, Jabari Walker, who had five points, five rebounds, and two steals on Friday versus the Spurs, may remain in the middle. However, that could change if Robert Williams III (concussion), who is questionable, returns. If that's the case, Williams would certainly be worth starting in all fantasy formats.

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (finger) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Ayton is back in the mix following a seven-game absence due to a right finger contusion. The Blazers could use his help with the team banged up at the center spot right now. The expectation is that he could be somewhat limited during his first game back. However, Ayton should still be able to provide quality fantasy value even with slightly less playing time. Fantasy managers can get him back in their lineups for Wednesday.

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (finger) is questionable for Wednesday's game in Indiana. He has missed the last seven games because of a right index finger contusion. But with Robert Williams III (concussion) and Donovan Clingan (knee) both out, the team could certainly use Ayton back on the floor. With that in mind, if the 2018 No. 1 overall pick can't suit up, Duop Reath would presumably be in line to handle things underneath the rim. Reath hasn't seen much action this season. However, he averaged 13.9 points, 5.8 boards, and 37.4% shooting from behind the arc in 20 starts last season. As a result, Reath would be worth streaming, and his potential for more production could be greater if Jerami Grant (knee) and Scoot Henderson (back) are ruled out.

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (finger) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. As expected, Ayton will miss his seventh game in a row after being listed as doubtful ahead of this game. The absence of Ayton should mean that Robert Williams III continues getting increased playing time. Williams is off the injury report and back in the mix after sitting out on Saturday. He's averaging 10.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 1.5 assists across six games this season.
