Simons (hamstring) isn't participating at Monday's practice, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 21-year-old missed Sunday's preseason matchup with the Kings due to the hamstring injury, and there's a good chance he's also unable to play in Wednesday's exhibition against the Nuggets. Simons has just over a week to get healthy for the season opener Dec. 23 versus Utah.

Simons will not play in Sunday's preseason game against the Kings due to a sore hamstring, Jamie Hudson of NBC Sports Northwest reports.
EDGE Analysis
The injury doesn't appear to be anything serious, but the Blazers will hold the young guard out of what's ultimately a meaningless exhibition. Simons will have a chance to return for Wednesday's game against Denver.

Simons finished with 13 points (4-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 5 boards, 4 steals, and 2 assists, in 28 minutes of a 131-128 loss to Los Angeles on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Simons bounced back from a pair of rough outings with his best performance of the series in a crucial game five. The second-year man stepped up and provided key depth to a depleted Portland roster in the contest. His season will end on a high note with Portland's playoff run over with the loss.

Simons registered 23 points (9-15 FG, 5-8 3Pt), five assists and four rebounds in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 131-120 scrimmage loss to the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Simons got the start at point guard due to Damian Lillard's foot injury, and he might be in line for decent minutes off the bench -- especially if the star floor general is forced to miss more time or if he is not 100 percent healthy for the stretch run of the season. Simons averaged 8.4 points while shooting 40.5 percent from deep in his last 12 outings before the season was suspended in March.

Simons (ankle) will play Monday against the Magic, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Simons is good to go Monday after getting through warmups with no issues. Over his last five games, he's averaging 7.6 points, 1.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 steal in 20.8 minutes. With Damian Lillard (groin) expected back Wednesday, Simons could see his role diminish following Monday's tilt.

Simons (ankle) is probable for Monday's game against the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
While an official confirmation regarding his availability likely won't come until closer to tipoff, it sounds like Simons is trending towards taking the court. If he plays, Simons should see steady minutes off the bench with Damian Lillard (groin) sidelined.

Simons (ankle) stated that his status for Monday's game against Orlando will hinge on his ability to go through pregame warmups, Jamie Hudson of NBC Sports Northwest reports.
EDGE Analysis
Simons stated that he's "leaning towards playing", indicating that he'll try to give it a go against the Magic. That said, the team has yet to make an official call either way and will likely hold off until after warmups.

Simons (ankle) was able to participate in shootaround ahead of Monday's tilt with Orlando, Jamie Hudson of NBC Sports Northwest reports.
EDGE Analysis
Simons remains a questionable designation, though his participation in pregame drills is encouraging. Look for a further update on his status to come ahead of tipoff.

Simons (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Magic, Jamie Goldberg of The Oregonian reports.
EDGE Analysis
Simons exited Saturday night's game against Atlanta with a sprained left ankle, so the Blazers will wait to see how he progresses overnight before reevaluating him at shootaround. The injury limited Simons to 16 minutes of action Saturday, as he finished with 10 points on 3-of-8 shooting.

Simons won't return to Saturday's game in Atlanta after suffering a left ankle sprain, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Simons had 10 points (3-8 FT, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one rebound in 16 minutes before going down with the injury. The 20-year-old should be considered questionable for Monday's game at Orlando until the team updates his status.
