Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton will be sitting out Friday night’s home game against the LA Clippers due to left elbow tendinitis. This news comes after Ayton averaged an impressive 24.1 points and 13.9 rebounds over his last seven games.
Joining Ayton on the sidelines are Jerami Grant, who is dealing with right hamstring soreness, and Matisse Thybulle, who is sidelined with right ankle soreness. However, Anfernee Simons, who was listed as probable with left knee tendinitis, is officially available for the upcoming game.
During the Trail Blazers’ recent loss to the LA Clippers, Anfernee Simons sustained a knee injury in the third quarter, adding to the team’s injury concerns. Despite the setbacks, the Blazers managed to avoid a blowout with a fourth-quarter rally, ultimately losing 125-117 to the Clippers.
As the team navigates these challenges, fans are eager for updates on the status of key players and the overall impact on the Blazers’ performance. Stay tuned for more developments as the Portland Trail Blazers face off against the LA Clippers in the upcoming game.
