Camara scored 13 points (4-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT) while adding a rebound, an assist and two steals across 23 minutes in Sunday's 108-85 preseason win over the Kings.

The Trail Blazers have yet to decide who will open the season in the starting unit, but Camara is trying to make a strong case to earn a role there. That said, he might open the season as the backup to Deni Avdija at small forward regardless of whether Anfernee Simons (ankle) is ready for the season opener on Oct. 23 against the Warriors. Camara started 49 of his 70 regular-season appearances as a rookie in 2023-24 and averaged 7.5 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.9 steals across 24.8 minutes per game.
