Simons provided 17 points (7-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and four assists over 25 minutes during Sunday's 127-110 loss to the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

Simons couldn't repeat the 34-point performance he delivered against the 76ers on Friday, and he had a poor outing when it came to his three-point shooting. Overall, his numbers have been trending in the wrong direction, and he's failed to reach the 20-point mark in five of his last six appearances.

Simons logged 34 points (13-22 FG, 8-12 3Pt, 0-1 FT), one rebound and two assists over 29 minutes during Friday's 120-119 loss to the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

Simons didn't show any signs of rust after missing his team's last four contests and seven of the last eight games due to an ankle injury. He caught fire from beyond the arc, scoring 24 of his 34 points from deep in the tightly-contested loss. This marks his most made triples since Feb. 3, when he drained eight threes against Washington.

Simons (ankle) will start Friday's game against Philadelphia, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

After missing seven of the last eight games, Simons has been cleared to return and will immediately return to the starting lineup. Over nine appearances since the start of February, he's averaged 18.2 points and 4.7 assists in 32.3 minutes per game. However, it wouldn't be surprising if he faces a minutes restriction Friday.

Simons (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

Simons has missed the last four games due to a sprained right ankle, but it's encouraging that he's listed as questionable for Friday's matchup rather than being ruled out immediately. If he remains sidelined, Cam Reddish should continue to start for the Trail Blazers.

Simons (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

Simons is slated to miss a fourth straight game due to a right ankle sprain. His next chance to suit up will come Friday in Philadelphia. In Simons' absence, Cam Reddish has flourished in a starting role.

EDGE Analysis

Simons is slated to miss a third straight game due to a right ankle sprain. It's unclear when he'll be able to suit up again, but he's appeared in just one contest since the All-Star break. Cam Reddish will presumably remain in the starting lineup until Simons is cleared to return.

Simons (ankle) will not play in Sunday's game against the Magic, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sunday's contest will mark Simons' fifth absence in the team's last six games with a sprained right ankle. Cam Reddish should be expected to remain in the starting lineup, while Shaedon Sharpe and Keon Johnson are candidates to receive more minutes off the bench. Simons will have a chance to suit up for the closing end of the back-to-back set Monday in Detroit.

Simons (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Atlanta, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Simons (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game versus the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

Simons indicated after Wednesday's game versus the Pelicans that he would likely miss Friday's festivities, and his doubtful designation aligns with that train of thought. Cam Reddish may be the most likely option to join the starting unit if Simons sits as expected.

Simons (ankle) suggested after Wednesday's 121-110 loss to the Pelicans that he doesn't expect to play in Friday's game in Atlanta, Jason Quick of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

After missing three straight games with a Grade 2 right ankle sprain, Simons was cleared to return to the lineup Wednesday, but he played just 20 minutes before exiting in the third quarter upon aggravating the injury. Though neither Simons nor head coach Chauncey Billups shed much light on the extent of his setback, look for the Trail Blazers to err on the side of caution and hold the shooting guard out for the start of their upcoming road trip. Cam Reddish -- who started six straight games before moving to the bench Wednesday -- is the most likely candidate to replace Simons on the Blazers' top unit.
