Thursday will mark Avdija's second straight game on the sidelines, and it's not a great sign that he continues to get ruled out 24 hours in advance of tipoff. Kris Murray, Sidy Cissoko and Matisse Thybulle will continue to pick up the slack in Avdija's absence.
After losing to Tyler Herro (ribs) in 2025, Lillard won his third 3-Point Contest in four years. The star point guard posted 27 points in the first round and 29 in the second, beating Booker by two and Knueppel by 12 in the final round. Lillard 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 hope to return to action for Portland by the start of the 2026-27 campaign.
Sharpe has already been out since early February with a strained left calf, and now it sounds like his absence could extend until April due to a stress reaction in his fibula. With Sharpe likely to miss at least another month, Scoot Henderson could soon push for minutes in the 30s on a consistent basis. Vit Krejci also belongs on the radar in deeper fantasy leagues.
Clingan was added to Thursday afternoon's injury report due to an illness, which is severe enough for the second-year center to be sidelined against Chicago. Robert Williams (foot) and Yang Hansen (back) have both been cleared to play and are candidates to enter the Trail Blazers' starting lineup due to Clingan's absence. Saturday against the Hornets is Clingan's next chance to play.
