Robert Williams III - Upgraded to questionable Williams (hamstring) is questionable for Monday's game against the Pelicans.
Impact Williams has a chance to make his season debut Monday, but if cleared, he'll presumably have a heavy minute restriction. The oft-injured big man has made only 41 regular-season appearances since the 2021-22 campaign, including six during his first season in Portland last year.

Matisse Thybulle - Ruled out Monday Thybulle (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Pelicans.
Impact Thybulle underwent a procedure in October to address inflammation in his right knee, though he is expected to return to game action soon. The 27-year-old is expected to compete for significant playing time on the wing, and his next chance to play will come Thursday against San Antonio.

Shaedon Sharpe - Remains out Sharpe (shoulder) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Pelicans.
Impact Sharpe is due for another evaluation soon but remains out indefinitely while rehabbing from a small posterior labral tear in his left shoulder. He can do some on-court work but hasn't been cleared for contact yet, suggesting he'll be sidelined for at least another week even if Portland treats him as day-to-day.

Deandre Ayton - Another double-double Ayton amassed 10 points (3-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 13 rebounds and two assists over 30 minutes during Saturday's 103-97 loss to Phoenix.
Impact Ayton was one of several starters who struggled from the field in this game, but the big man continues to deliver enough of a two-way impact to overlook his shooting woes -- at least for now. Ayton has posted six double-doubles in his seven contests, but he's shooting just 48.4 percent from the field, a low mark for a player who earns most of his points near the rim.

Jerami Grant - Fills stat sheet Saturday Grant accumulated 20 points (8-23 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 39 minutes during Saturday's 103-97 loss to the Suns.
Impact Grant had a rough showing from the field and was particularly inaccurate from beyond the arc, but he still found a way to reach the 20-point mark -- something he's achieved in just three of his seven appearances. Portland's offensive woes certainly conspire against what he can do on a game-to-game basis, but Grant's role as one of Portland's top offensive weapons is not under any dispute. He's shooting just 38.1 percent from the field, so there's still margin for improvement for him.

Anfernee Simons - Struggles with shot Saturday Simons logged 20 points (8-25 FG, 4-13 3Pt, 0-1 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and two steals across 41 minutes during Saturday's 103-97 loss to the Suns.
Impact Simons didn't have his best shooting percentage Saturday, but he still posted a solid stat line. The star guard finished just two boards shy of a double-double and also filled the stat sheet in other categories, backing up the impact he can make on defense and as a playmaker. Simons has scored at least 20 points in four of his seven contests, and while he's been lacking a bit of consistency at times, he should remain one of Portland's best players going forward as long as he remains healthy.

Toumani Camara - Efficient in loss Camara chipped in 13 points (4-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 24 minutes during Friday's 137-114 loss to Oklahoma City.
Impact After logging 40 minutes against the Clippers, Camara saw his playing time dip to 24 minutes in Friday's loss. The second-year forward has now recorded at least one steal in all six of his appearances this season.

Robert Williams III - Another absence coming Williams (hamstring) is out for Saturday's game versus the Suns.
Impact Williams has yet to suit up this season while dealing with a left hamstring strain. The 27-year-old big man's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with New Orleans.

Anfernee Simons - Good to go Saturday Simons (arm) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's game versus the Suns.
Impact Simons left Friday's contest early after falling awkwardly on his arm but doesn't appear to have suffered a serious injury. The 25-year-old guard is averaging 18.7 points, 5.2 assists and 2.0 rebounds in 33.0 minutes across his six appearances this season.

Rayan Rupert - Big night from downtown Rupert recorded 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt), two rebounds, one block and one steal across 23 minutes off the bench during Friday's 137-114 loss to the Thunder.
Impact The 2023 second-round pick saw his biggest workload of the season as coach Chauncey Billups stuck with the hot hand from beyond the arc. Rupert had only 17 points combined in his four prior appearances, but he could see an uptick in minutes in the short term if Anfernee Simons (arm) is forced to miss any time after leaving Friday's contest midway through the fourth quarter after a hard fall following a dunk attempt.

Jerami Grant - Scores team-high 17 in loss Grant closed Friday's 137-114 loss to the Thunder with 17 points (5-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one block over 28 minutes.
Impact The veteran forward had managed just 15 points combined over the prior two games, but Grant shook off the mini-slump to lead the Blazers in scoring on the night. While his offense has been erratic to begin the season, he's finding other ways to contribute. Grant's 1.7 blocks a game would be a personal best, and he's also upped his volume from beyond the arc, averaging a career-high 3.0 threes on 8.2 attempts (36.7 percent).
