Trail Blazers' Donovan Clingan: Starting Saturday
Clingan will start at center against the Heat on Saturday, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.
This will be a big opportunity for Clingan with both Deandre Ayton (calf) and Robert Williams (illness) sidelined. In seven starts this season, Clingan posted averages of 8.0 points, 10.0 rebounds and 3.0 blocks in 22.3 minutes.

Trail Blazers' Donovan Clingan: Records double-double off bench
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 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: Good to go against Dallas
Clingan (rest) is available for Thursday's game versus the Mavericks.
Clingan will return to action Thursday after missing the first leg of Portland's back-to-back Wednesday due to rest purposes. The rookie forward should continue to operate as the backup center to Deandre Ayton. Clingan is averaging 4.7 points and 4.5 rebounds in 13.8 minutes across his last 10 appearances.

Trail Blazers' Donovan Clingan: Ruled out Wednesday
Clingan (rest) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against New Orleans, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
Wednesday night marks the first of a back-to-back for the Blazers, and they elected to rest Clingan so he could play Thursday in Dallas. Deandre Ayton and Robert Williams will likely occupy the big-man minutes for the Blazers.

Trail Blazers' Donovan Clingan: Questionable for Wednesday
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.

Trail Blazers' Donovan Clingan: Serves as primary backup
Clingan totaled four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), five rebounds and one block in 14 minutes during Saturday's 105-102 victory over the Bucks.
Clingan played 14 minutes as the primary backup behind Deandre Ayton, seemingly assuming the role by himself, as opposed to a timeshare with Robert Williams. Although the move has not yielded significant production, it is definitely a situation to monitor moving forward. If and when Portland opts to lean more into their young core, Clingan could be the first in line to soak up more minutes at the center spot.

Trail Blazers' Donovan Clingan: Quiet in loss
Clingan logged four points (1-2 FG, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block over 17 minutes during Thursday's 114-106 loss to the Lakers.
Clingan was quiet in his limited playing time, and he hasn't seen the court for more than 20 minutes in a game since Nov. 23. The big man has averaged 3.8 points and 3.6 rebounds across 13.4 minutes per game in his last five outings.

Trail Blazers' Donovan Clingan: Back to bench Thursday
Clingan is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Nuggets.

Trail Blazers' Donovan Clingan: Enters starting lineup
Clingan will start Sunday's game against the Suns, Casey Holdahl of the team's official site reports.
Clingan returned on a minutes restriction from a seven-game absence Friday, but he will rejoin the starting lineup Sunday. Over his last six starts, Clingan holds averages of 7.7 points, 10.2 rebounds and 3.2 blocks in 22.7 minutes per contest.

Trail Blazers' Donovan Clingan: Grabs seven boards in return
Clingan (knee) tallied six points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), seven rebounds and two assists across 15 minutes Friday in the Trail Blazers' 118-116 loss to the Spurs.
Portland was without Deandre Ayton (illness) and Robert Williams (conditioning/concussion) on Friday, but Clingan's return from a seven-game absence due to a sprained left knee helped restore some depth in the frontcourt. Jabari Walker drew the start at center, but once Ayton returns, Clingan should remain ahead of Walker in the pecking order. Williams, meanwhile, represents a more viable threat than Walker to challenge for the backup role, though Portland showed a willingness to use Williams as a reserve power forward for a brief period in November when all of Clingan, Ayton and Williams were healthy at the same time.

Trail Blazers' Donovan Clingan: Available to play Friday
Clingan (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Spurs, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
Clingan will operate in a minutes restriction, as the big man will be available for the first time since Nov. 23, when he went scoreless but grabbed 19 rebounds in a win over the Rockets. With Clingan on a minutes restriction, Robert Williams (not injury related) out and Deandre Ayton (illness) out, Jabari Walker will get the start at center for Portland.

Trail Blazers' Donovan Clingan: Officially deemed questionable
Clingan (knee) fully participated in Thursday's practice and is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Spurs, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.
Clingan has missed Portland's last seven contests with a left knee injury but appears on track to return to action Friday. If Clingan is able to suit up, Deandre Ayton and Duop Reath will likely see a decrease in playing time.

Trail Blazers' Donovan Clingan: Considered day-to-day
Portland announced Tuesday that Clingan (knee) has been cleared for on-court workouts and will ramp up toward a return to play. Coach Chauncey Billups said he expects Clingan to play Friday against the Spurs, Aaron J. Fentress of The Oregonian reports.
Clingan has been sidelined since Nov. 23 with a left knee sprain, but he's officially considered day-to-day going forward. This means a return against the Spurs on Friday could potentially be on the table. With Robert Williams (concussion) rumored to be on the trade block, Clingan could have an expanded role in the near future.

Trail Blazers' Donovan Clingan: Out at least two weeks
Portland announced Tuesday that Clingan (knee) will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
Additional imaging revealed the rookie has a Grade 2 MCL sprain, and he'll hit the sidelines for an extended period. Clingan was playing well before the injury, averaging 7.7 points, 10.2 rebounds and 3.1 blocks in 22.7 minutes per game across six consecutive starts due to the absence of Deandre Ayton (finger). Given Portland's rebuilding status, there's no reason to rush Clingan back, but the youngster should get plenty of developmental minutes in the second half of the season if healthy.

Trail Blazers' Donovan Clingan: Dealing with left knee sprain
Clingan has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Grizzlies due to a left knee sprain.
Clingan briefly left Saturday's game against the Rockets due to a left knee injury, but he was able to return and finished with zero points, 19 rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal over 26 minutes. The knee injury appears to be a lingering issue that will prevent Clingan from playing Monday, and his next chance to take the court will be against the Pacers on Wednesday. With Clingan out and Deandre Ayton (finger) doubtful to play Monday, Robert Williams could be inserted into the Blazers' starting lineup.

Trail Blazers' Donovan Clingan: Pulls down 19 rebounds Saturday
Clingan recorded zero points (0-4 FG), 19 rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal over 26 minutes during Saturday's 104-98 victory over the Rockets.
The rookie big man set a career-high mark with 19 rebounds, including nine offensive, and represented a massive problem for Alperen Sengun for the second game in a row. Clingan needs to score more regularly to boost his upside, but he's so dominant on the glass that he remains valuable in fantasy solely based on his defensive numbers.
