Trail Blazers' Deni Avdija: Limited output in All-Star debut
RotowireAvdija (back) played 15 minutes Sunday at All-Star weekend in Los Angeles between Team World's losses to Team Stars and Team Stripes, finishing with five points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four assists and one rebound.
Avdija had missed theTrail Blazers' most recent game Thursday against the Jazz due to lower-back injury management, but the issue didn't prevent him from making his first career All-Star appearance. The 25-year-old forward started in both games for Team World but saw light usage while the offense ran through the Spurs' Victor Wembanyama. While playing in just six of the Trail Blazers' final 16 games prior to the All-Star break, Avdija had eclipsed 30 minutes on just one occasion. However, with some extra time to recover during the break, Avdija could have his minutes restriction lifted ahead of Portland's next game Friday versus the Nuggets.

RotowireAvdija (back) will play for Team World on Sunday at All-Star weekend in Los Angeles.
Avdija missed Portland's win over the Jazz on Thursday due to injury management in the second leg of a back-to-back set, though he's set to make his first career All-Star appearance Sunday. Assuming he makes it through Sunday's exhibition without incident, Avdija should be good to go for theTrail Blazers' next game Friday versus the Nuggets.

RotowireLillard (Achilles) defeated Devin Booker (ankle) and Kon Knueppel in the final round of Saturday's 2026 State Farm 3-Point Contest, taking home his third title.
After losing to Tyler Herro (ribs) in 2025, Lillard won his third 3-Point Contest in four years. He's now tied with Larry Bird and Craig Hodges for the most 3-Point Contest wins in NBA history. The star point guard posted 27 points in the first round and 29 in the second, when he beat Booker by two and Knueppel by 12. Lillard knocked down seven of his final 10 shots in Round 2 and made one shot from the logo. The 35-year-old is still recovering from a torn left Achilles tendon he sustained with the Bucks in the opening round of the playoffs last season, and he'll aim to return to action for Portland by the start of the 2026-27 campaign.

RotowireCamara finished Thursday's 135-119 win over Utah with 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 0-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 29 minutes.
Heading into the All-Star break, Camara hasn't quite lived up to his offseason hype. Across 56 appearances, he's holding onto 13th-round value in nine-category formats with 13.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.6 three-pointers. His counting stats have been solid, but his inefficient shooting has held him back.

RotowireKrejci chipped in 11 points (4-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 25 minutes during Thursday's 135-119 victory over Utah.
Krejci appears to be finding his form with his new team, and he took advantage of some injuries once again. Over his last two outings, Krejci has averaged 14.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.5 three-pointers.

RotowireHenderson had 15 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), one rebound, four assists and one steal in 20 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 135-119 win over the Jazz.
Playing both halves of a back-to-back for the first time since recovering from a torn hamstring and making his season debut Feb. 6, Henderson saw a muted workload but put together a productive night. The third-year guard will likely remain with the second unit on the other side of the All-Star break as long as Jrue Holiday remains healthy, but Henderson at least appears to be ready to make a consistent contribution.

RotowireGrant amassed 18 points (7-17 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 33 minutes during Thursday's 135-119 win over the Jazz.
Making his seventh straight start in February, Grant turned in a solid performance ahead of the All-Star break. The 31-year-old forward is averaging 19.0 points, 3.1 boards, 2.7 threes, 2.0 assists and 1.0 combined steals and blocks in 29.9 minutes on the month.

RotowireClingan collected 23 points (8-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 18 rebounds, seven assists and three blocks across 31 minutes during Thursday's 135-119 victory over the Jazz.
Clingan posted a strong shooting performance, drilling 66.7 percent of his field-goal attempts on the night. He finished second on his club in scoring behind Jrue Holiday's 31 points, and Clingan dominated on the boards for a team-high 18 rebounds while also setting a new career high with his seven assists. He's now secured four double-doubles in seven February appearances.

RotowireHoliday produced 31 points (10-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 7-9 FT), nine rebounds and seven assists across 33 minutes during Thursday's 135-119 victory over the Jazz.
Holiday put forth a strong all-around performance, which was good enough to lead the team in scoring while falling one rebound shy of a double-double. He combined with Donovan Clingan for 54 points as the duo powered Portland to a victory. This marks the first time Holiday has reached the 30-point threshold through 27 games this season.

RotowireCissoko will startin Thursday's game against Utah.
Cissoko will receive an opportunity to run with the starters Thursday after being a healthy inactive for Wednesday's loss to to the Timberwolves. The 21-year-old contributed across the board in his most recent start against the Grizzlies this past Saturday, when he finished with seven points, 10 rebounds, four assists and two steals in 33 minutes. With Cissoko set to be active for his 50th game of the season Thursday, he'll be ineligible to suit up for theTrail Blazers for the remainder of the campaign unless Portland upgrades him from a two-way deal to a standard NBA contract.

RotowireWilliams (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Jazz.
Williams will be shut down Thursday due to left knee injury management. Yang Hansen should pick up some additional playing time with Williams out of commission.

RotowireAvdija (back) is out for Thursday's game against the Jazz.
Avdija will miss Portland's final matchup before the All-Star break due to load management. Sidy Cissoko should be in line for a sizable increase in minutes Thursday as a result.

Sportsline SportsLine StaffTrail Blazers' Damian Lillard: Appearing in 3-Point Contest
RotowireLillard (Achilles) is scheduled to participate Saturday in the 2026 State Farm 3-Point Contest at All-Star weekend in Los Angeles.
While he isn't on track to play in games at any point this season after undergoing surgery May 2 to repair a torn left Achilles tendon, Lillard is thus far moving along in his rehab program as anticipated and evidently made enough progress for theTrail Blazers to sign off on him taking part in All-Star festivities. Earlier this week, Lillard was reluctant to provide many details about where he stands in his recovery process, but he's posted social media videos throughout the season that have shown him shooting, sprinting and dunking, per Jason Quick of The Athletic. After taking part in the 3-Point Contest, Lillard could be cleared to practice in some fashion before the end of the season, which would likely set the stage for him to be a full participant at the beginning of training camp next fall.

RotowireMurray (back) is out for Thursday's game against Utah.
A lumbar strain has left Murray with no timetable for a return. Portland will presumably re-evaluate the forward when it returns from the All-Star break.
... See More... See LessTrail Blazers' Scoot Henderson: Available to play
RotowireHenderson is available for Thursday's game against the Jazz.
Henderson recorded 18 points (5-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 19 minutes during Wednesday's 133-109 loss to the Timberwolves, and it was widely assumed that he would be held out for injury maintenance Thursday. However, it appears that he has the green light, but it's fair to expect a modest workload at best.
... See More... See LessTrail Blazers' Deni Avdija: Questionable for Thursday
RotowireAvdija is questionable for Thursday's game against the Jazz due to lower-back injury management.
TheTrail Blazers are considering giving the All-Star forward load management for the final contest prior to the All-Star break. Sidy Cissoko and Vit Krejci would be candidates for an expanded role in the event that Avdija sits out Thursday.
... See More... See LessTrail Blazers' Robert Williams: Iffy for Thursday
RotowireWilliams (rest) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Jazz.
Williams usually sits out one game of back-to-back sets, but he logged just 12 minutes Wednesday against Minnesota. If theTrail Blazers ultimately hold him out, Yang Hansen could be deployed as the backup center.
