Trail Blazers' Donovan Clingan: Records double-double off bench
Donovan Clingan ended Thursday's 117-111 loss to the Mavericks with 11 points (4-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 24 minutes.The Portland Trail Blazers slid Clingan in for Deandre Ayton, who had a difficult time getting past Dereck Lively. Clingan was more effective, although he enjoyed more success when Daniel Gafford was on the floor. Ayton and the Trail Blazers are bound to part ways eventually, and although Clingan still needs more seasoning, he may end up with an enhanced role if a potential suitor emerges with a deal for Ayton that the team can't pass up.

Trail Blazers' Donovan Clingan: Questionable for Wednesday
Donovan Clingan (rest) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans.Wednesday is the front end of Portland's back-to-back set, so the team could opt to hold the rookie first-rounder out of action against New Orleans. The Blazers would figure to lean on Deandre Ayton from the first unit if Clingan gets the night off Wednesday, and Robert Williams would be in line to take on the backup center role in this case. Ayton has averaged 16.0 points, 9.0 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.3 blocks in 31.9 minutes across six outings with Clingan out of action in 2024-25.
