Simons (conditioning) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's contest against the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

Simons cleared the NBA's health and safety protocols Sunday and will be available Monday. However, it's unclear how big of a role the backup point guard will have in his return. Before his absence, Simons appeared in 30 contests and averaged a career-high 11.9 points in 24.2 minutes per game.

Simons cleared the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols Sunday and could be available for Monday's game against the Hawks, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Simons will end his quarantine and rejoin the Trail Blazers for the start of their four-game homestand, though he could require at least a couple days to regain conditioning following his recent shutdown. Before missing Portland's 139-106 loss to the Lakers on Friday, Simons appeared in 30 contests and averaged a career-high 11.9 points in 24.2 minutes per game.

Simons entered health and safety protocols Thursday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Simons is in the midst of a career year with averages of 11.9 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 24.2 minutes. In his absence, there will likely be more backup guard minutes available for Tony Snell, Jarron Cumberland and CJ Elleby.

Simons and the Trail Blazers won't play the Nets on Thursday after the NBA postponed the game due to Brooklyn not having the league-required eight available players for that contest.

EDGE Analysis

As a result of the postponement, fantasy managers in weekly leagues will get just one game out of Simons, who supplied only two points (1-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt) to go with two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 111-97 loss to the Pelicans. Simons and the Trail Blazers will return to action Monday against the Mavericks.

Simons totaled two points (1-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 111-97 loss to New Orleans.

EDGE Analysis

Simons was not a factor in the loss, turning in one of his worst performances of the season. With Damian Lillard back in the fold, Simons' value has dropped off in a hurry. He should still be able to have some streaming appeal from time to time, but beyond that, there is very little to see in terms of upside.

Simons (ankle) had 26 points (9-20 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 2-3 FT), one rebound and three assists in 33 minutes during Sunday's 116-111 loss to Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

Simons returned following a three-game absence and delivered another quality showing on the offensive end of the court. In fact, if removing the game against Spurs on Dec. 2 in which he suffered the injury, he's now scored in double digits in five straight appearances, surpassing the 20-point mark twice in that span. He's not expected to start any time soon as long as CJ McCollum and Damian Lillard remain on the team, but there's no question Simons' stock is on the rise.

Simons (ankle) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Aaron J. Fentress of The Oregonian reports.

EDGE Analysis

Simons missed three straight games due to a sprained right ankle but will be able to make his return to the floor Sunday night. The 22-year-old could be in line for another start if Damian Lillard (abdomen) is unable to play once again. More on the situation should unfold closer to tip-off.

Simons (ankle) went through portions of Friday's practice, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Simons has missed the past three games due to a sprained right ankle, and it seems like there's a chance he returns Sunday. More information may be available Saturday.

Simons (ankle) will not play in Wednesday's matchup against the Warriors, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Simons has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest due to a sprained right ankle and will miss his third consecutive game. With Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum also out, Portland is running dangerously thin at the guard spot. Dennis Smith will likely have to carry a substantial load with Ben McLemore also seeing extended opportunities. Simons will have another chance to return on Sunday against the Timberwolves.

Simons (ankle) is questionable Wednesday against the Warriors, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Simons has missed the past two games with a sprained right ankle. His presence is needed more than ever, as C.J. McCollum has been added to the injury report with a collapsed lung. If Simons is unable to go, look for Dennis Smith, Norman Powell and Tony Snell to see heavy minutes.
