Simons (quadriceps) is out Friday against the Rockets.

EDGE Analysis

Simons last played March 5, and it's becoming increasingly unclear if he'll return this season. Kris Dunn has been starting at point guard lately.

Simons (quadriceps) is out Wednesday against the Spurs, Jamie Hudson of KOIN 6 News Portland reports.

EDGE Analysis

Simons will miss a ninth straight game Wednesday, and it remains unlikely the Blazers are in any rush to get him back. That said, his next chance to play is Friday against the Rockets.

Simons (quad) will not be available for Monday night's game at Detroit, Blazers reporter Casey Holdahl reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Blazers initially gave Simons a 1-to-2-week timetable earlier in the month, but we haven't received any concrete updates since Simons hit the shelf March 7. Given that Portland is blatantly attempting to take its way to better lottery odds, it wouldn't be a surprise if Simons misses a few more games. As long as he's out, Brandon Williams will continue to fill in at point guard.

Simons (quadriceps) is expected to be sidelined for 1-to-2 weeks after an MRI showed mild patella tendinopathy in his left knee, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.

EDGE Analysis

Simons has already missed three consecutive games and will now likely miss at least three more. Given the Trail Blazers position in the standings, the team will likely err on the side of caution with his return. In his absence, Brandon Williams and Ben McLemore figure to continue seeing increased run.

Simons (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Saturday's contest against the Wizards, Aaron J. Fentress of The Oregonian reports.

EDGE Analysis

Simons (quadriceps) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Utah, Jamie Hudson of KOIN 6 News Portland reports.

EDGE Analysis

Simons was unable to play during the team's loss to Minnesota on Monday due to suffering a quad injury this past Saturday. However, the guard may be able to return to the lineup Wednesday, as there hasn't been any indication that Simons' injury is too severe. The 22-year-old has been on a tear recently, averaging 23.4 points across 45.6 percent shooting dating back to Jan. 3. If he's unavailable for a second straight game though, Brandon Williams may be in line for another start.

Simons will not play in Monday's game against Minnesota due to a bruised left quad, Blazers reporter Casey Holdahl reports.

EDGE Analysis

Simons apparently picked up the injury during Saturday night's loss to Minnesota, in which he played 40 minutes and posted 38 points, three rebounds and three assists to go with nine three-pointers. The free-falling Blazers, who've been blown out in four straight games, have little interest in winning games down the stretch, so it's very possible Simons is simply being held out for precautionary purposes. For fantasy managers, the hope is that he's back in action Wednesday at Utah.

Simons chipped in 38 points (11-25 FG, 9-17 3Pt, 7-7 FT), three rebounds and three assists in 40 minutes during Saturday's 135-121 loss to the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

Simons put the Trail Blazers on his back Saturday, matching his career-high with nine triples en route to 38 points. The team ran out just eight healthy players, meaning Simons basically had free reign as the team's primary offensive weapon. Since the departure of C.J. McCollum, Simons has stepped into a key role, one that he has filled admirably. Moving forward, he should continue to be put up some gaudy scoring nights and fantasy managers can simply hang on and enjoy the ride.

Simons amassed 24 points (7-14 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds and three assists over 28 minutes during Thursday's 132-95 loss to Golden State.

EDGE Analysis

There weren't many bright spots for Portland in the 37-point loss, but Simons impressed in the team's first game following the break by leading all scorers with 24 points. He reached that mark with an efficient 7-for-14 effort from the field that included a 4-for-7 shooting line from three-point range. With Damian Lillard (abdomen) likely out for the season and Jusuf Nurkic (foot) scheduled to miss at least four weeks, Simons figures to be the centerpiece of the Blazers offense moving forward. He is averaging 29.0 points, 5.6 assists and a whopping 5.4 three-pointers while shooting 51.0 percent from the field over his past five games.
