• Trail Blazers' Donovan Clingan: Brings defense in return

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Clingan (lower leg) recorded three points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, three blocks, three assists and one steal across 22 minutes Sunday in the Trail Blazers' 136-131 win over the Warriors. Portland plugged Clingan back into the starting five after he had missed the previous three contests due to a left lower leg contusion, but he wasn't asked to handle heavy minutes while interim head coach Tiago Splitter occasionally turned to either Sidy Cissoko or Jerami Grant to serve as small-ball centers when Clingan and top backup Robert Williams were off the court. Clingan was still able to make an impact in the defensive categories and on the glass during his time on the floor, but he continued to remain relatively uninvolved on offense. He's maintaining a modest 15 percent usage rate for the season and has reached double figures in scoring in just eight of his 22 appearances.

  Clingan (leg) is good to go for Sunday's game versus the Warriors, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports. Clingan is set to return from a three-game absence, which could result in Jerami Grant heading back to the second unit. There will also be fewer minutes available for Robert Williams, Duop Reath and Yang Hansen.

  Clingan (lower leg) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Warriors. Clingan will look to snap a three-game absence due to a lower leg contusion. If the second-year center is cleared to play, Kris Murray is expected to slide back to the second unit. Over his last five appearances, Clingan has averaged 9.4 points, 10.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 blocks in 23.8 minutes per contest.

  Clingan (leg) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports. Clingan remains day-to-day after missing Friday's game against Detroit. If the big man is unable to suit up, the Trail Blazers could again rely on Robert Williams and Duop Reath to fill the void at center.
