Clingan chipped in 17 points (6-10 FG, 5-5 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and eight blocks in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 106-98 victory over the Timberwolves. With Deandre Ayton (finger) out again, Portland's 2024 first-round pick turned in a stellar performance. At 7-foot-2 and 282 pounds, Clingan is a challenge for any frontcourt, and he posted the huge number against Rudy Gobert and Julius Randle, arguably the best interior duo in the league.The UConn product dominated inside with eight blocked shots and was only two swats short of the rare point-rebound-block triple-double.

Clingan finished Tuesday's 122-108 victory over the Timberwolves with four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), six rebounds, one block and one steal across 21 minutes. It's unclear if Deandre Ayton (finger) will be available for the second half of this back-to-back set, and it's also uncertain if Robert Williams will play Wednesday, so Clingan could be in line to make back-to-back starts at center. The rookie didn't have his best showing during his first career start Tuesday, though that could've been expected since he had to battle with Rudy Gobert, one of the best rim protectors in the league. Clingan should continue to see steady minutes as long as the Blazers' frontcourt remains depleted.

Clingan is in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Timberwolves, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports. Clingan will replace Deandre Ayton (finger) in the starting lineup Tuesday. The rookie big man has yet to log 20 or more minutes in a game this season but will likely receive an uptick in playing time against Minnesota.

Clingan accumulated four points (1-1 FG, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and three blocks across 16 minutes during Monday's 118-100 win over New Orleans. Clingan posted his second-highest mark in blocks of the season Monday. The rookie has yet to surpass 20 minutes through eight regular-season games, and with Robert Williams working his way back from a hamstring injury it may be difficult for Clingan to carve out a significant role early on.

Clingan notched four points (1-1 FG, 2-3 FT), six rebounds and four blocks in 14 minutes off the bench during Friday's 105-103 loss to the Pelicans. While the rookie center didn't see much court time behind Deandre Ayton, Clingan made his presence felt at the defensive end. The seventh overall pick in the 2024 Draft has an impressive five blocks in 27 minutes through his first two NBA games, but if would likely take an Ayton injury or trade for Clingan to see enough action to be on the radar in most fantasy leagues.
