Deandre Ayton is Questionable for Sunday
6 years agoPhoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Ayton injured his ankle last Saturday and has missed the last four games because of it. Richaun Holmes (foot) is listed as questionable as well for Sunday. Dragan Bender would see big minutes once again with both Ayton and Holmes possibly being sidelined. Bender would be a solid DFS option given heavy minutes.

Deandre Ayton To Miss Wednesday's Action
1 month agoPortland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Ayton sustained a left calf strain against the Nuggets on Monday and will have to sit out Wednesday's rematch because of the injury. Donovan Clingan is set to slide into the starting unit, with Robert Williams III potentially seeing more action off the bench if he can play. The team has listed Williams III as questionable. Following a quiet spell, Clingan tallied 21 points and seven rebounds in 21 minutes on Monday.

Deandre Ayton Available For Tuesday
2 months agoPortland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (knee) has been upgraded to available ahead of Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Ayton is back in the mix following a three-game absence due to left knee soreness. There is no word on Ayton being limited, so the expectation is that he'll have his normal workload on Tuesday. His return to the court should shift Donovan Clingan back to the bench. Clingan should see reduced playing time which will make him a less appealing fantasy option. Fantasy managers should go ahead and get Ayton active in their lineups ahead of Tuesday's tip-off.

Deandre Ayton Iffy For Tuesday's Action
2 months agoPortland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. The former No. 1 pick has been sidelined for three games with a knee sprain. Donovan Clingan and Robert Williams III have shared the center duties with Ayton unavailable. Clingan has been the preferred option in the starting lineup, but Williams III outplayed him in Sunday's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. The former Celtic has recorded double-digit rebounds in back-to-back outings. Clingan entered Sunday with a four-game run of double-digit rebounds but grabbed just six boards against the Thunder and finished scoreless.

Deandre Ayton Won't Suit Up Friday
2 months agoPortland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (knee) will miss the second half of the team's back-to-back on Friday while he continues to deal with a left knee sprain. The 26-year-old has missed 12 games (will be 13) due to various injuries this season, so Robert Williams III, Donovan Clingan (ankle), and even Duop Reath have all seen some opportunities. Clingan is considered probable in the matchup against the Hornets, while Williams has been ruled out, which moves him into streaming territory. In his last start against the Heat, Clingan dropped eight points, 10 rebounds, one assist, two blocks, and one steal.
