Simons will not return to Wednesday's game against the Pelicans due to a right ankle sprain.

EDGE Analysis

Simons returned from a three-game absence with a Grade 2 ankle sprain Wednesday but exited the game in the third quarter after aggravating the injury and was ruled out for the remainder of the contest. Simons will finish the game with four points (2-9 FG) in 20 minutes. Shaedon Sharpe and Cam Reddish figure to see an uptick in minutes for the remainder of the contest while Simons will try to recover in time to play Friday in Atlanta.

Simons (ankle) will return to the floor for Wednesday's matchup with the Pelicans, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.

EDGE Analysis

This will be Simons' first game back on the court since Feb. 14, so he might have his minutes monitored in this one. Still, it's a solid matchup in what should be an uptempo game, so Simons is safe to activate in season-long settings. His return will likely result in either Cam Reddish or Matisse Thybulle heading back to the second unit, and Shaedon Sharpe's minutes could dip.

Simons (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

Simons has missed the last three matchups due to a Grade 2 ankle sprain but will be in the mix to return to the court Wednesday. Once he's cleared to return, Cam Reddish, Keon Johnson and Shaedon Sharpe could see their roles decrease slightly.

EDGE Analysis

Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups said after Tuesday's 126-101 loss to the Wizards that X-rays on Simons' sprained right ankle returned negative, but the shooting guard is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Thursday, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though Billups expressed optimism that Simons has avoided a long-term injury, the coach admitted the injury the 23-year-old suffered late in the third quarter "didn't look awesome," per Aaron J. Fentress of The Oregonian. The upcoming MRI will ultimately reveal the severity of Simons' ankle sprain, but at this stage, fantasy managers should be prepared for the possibility that he isn't ready to play when the Trail Blazers play their first game out of the All-Star break Feb. 23 versus the Kings. Shaedon Sharpe and newly acquired wings Matisse Thybulle and Cam Reddish could all benefit from increased playing time if Simons is forced to miss time with the ankle injury.

Simons had 14 points (6-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds and six assists across 28 minutes during Monday's 127-115 victory over the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Though the Blazers' offense as a whole hummed along in the blowout win, Simons had another poor shooting performance, making only six of 15 field-goal attempts. He's shooting just 31.7 percent from the field and averaging a meager 12.0 points over his past three contests, though he's somewhat compensated by tallying exactly six assists in each of those games. Simons should turn things back around eventually, as he was averaging 23.9 points on 55.2 percent shooting in the nine contests prior to his recent mini-slump.

It was his fifth straight performance of 20-plus points, and he's averaging 25.6 points on 56.6 percent shooting over that span.
