More starters could miss Game Vs Thunder

The Portland Trail Blazers are going to Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday, but they could be without more key players. The list of the original Damage Report for Portland is a bit about and could leave the Trail Blazers briefly against one of the best teams in the NBA.

Center DeAndre Ayton has been excluded due to a left calf strain, while Dalano Banton will miss because of personal reasons. Forward Matisse Thybulle has continued out due to a right ankle stew, and mid -Robert Williams III will also miss because of a left knee problem.

Forward Deni Avdija has been listed as questionable for the competition due to a left quad injury. Avdija suffered the damage in the team’s loss to Boston Celtics earlier this week.

And in the end, the veteran tip Jerami Grant has also been listed as questionable due to the right knee tendinitis.

Both Grant and Avdija could make a big difference to the wing of Trail Blazers in this game. Oklahoma City has plenty of firepower, so hope is that they will be able to play.

This is certainly not the type of damage that Portland hoped for, but this team has fought in recent matches. Portland stays in search of a potential playoffs, so every single game counts at this time of the season.

Trail Blazers currently owns a record of 28-35 on the season, which is in 12th place within the Western Conference position. If Portland actually wants to compete for an playoffs, they will have to put together a few solid weeks of basketball down the season.

This game against Thunder will be tough, but Portland has done well against some of the better teams in the NBA. We should know closer to the start of the game tomorrow whether Portland will have either Grant or Avdija for this competition.
