Simons was assigned to the G League on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Simons has played a total of three minutes during the Trail Blazers' last two games but will undoubtedly get more minutes during his stint in the G League with Ontario Agua Caliente.

Simons (illness) is out Wednesday against the Grizzlies, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fighting an upper respiratory infection, Simons will miss a third straight contest. His next chance to take the floor arrives Friday against the Raptors.

Simons (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Rockets, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Simons will miss a second straight game as he continues to battle an upper respiratory infection. It's still unclear how long Simons will remain sidelined, though his absence shouldn't affect Portland's usual rotation given his minimal role.

Simons is out Saturday against the Timberwolves due to an upper respiratory infection, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear how long Simons will be sidelined. That said, his role with the team has been minimal, so his absence shouldn't affect the Blazers' usual rotation.

Simons had two points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT) in 12 minutes during Wednesday's 143-100 loss to the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

Simons saw double-digit minutes for the second time in the last four games. With that being said, the rookie has not solidified a spot in the regular rotation, as he's still more of a project than an NBA-ready player. As such, he can be avoided across all formats.

Simons contributed 10 points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and one assist across 13 minutes during the Trail Blazers' 123-112 preseason loss to the Jazz on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie's scoring total paced the Trail Blazers' second unit and served as Simons' first double-digit scoring effort over three exhibitions. The 19-year-old should continue to receive a fair share of seasoning for what remains of the exhibition slate before likely spending significant time developing in the G-League this coming season.

Simons totaled three points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one assist and one steal across 12 minutes during the Trail Blazers' 115-93 preseason win over the Suns on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The 2018 first-round pick came off the bench for the second time in as many exhibitions. Simons couldn't find the net from the field after shooting 50.0 percent on six attempts in his preseason debut last Saturday, leading to a very modest stat line. The 19-year-old will presumably be brought along slowly in his first season, likely spending the majority of the campaign in the G-League will honing his ample supply of raw talent.

Simons (hip) is available to play in Tuesday's summer league final against the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Simons was ruled out of Monday's semifinal with a left hip contusion, but is apparently well enough to be available a day later. It's good news for the severity of the injury, as the Trail Blazers would be unwilling to risk playing their 2018 first-round pick if there was even the slightest cause for concern.

Simons has been ruled out of Monday's summer league semifinal against the Grizzlies with a left hip contusion.

EDGE Analysis

The Blazers are likely being cautious with their first round draft pick in past year's draft, not wanting to risk anything in summer league. Simons was averaging 20.8 minutes per contest this summer, averaging 11.8 points and 3.2 rebounds in that time. His status for the championship game, should Portland advance, is unknown at this time.

Simons posted 20 points (6-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, an assist and a steal across 18 minutes in Thursday's 95-69 Summer League playoff win over the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

Portland took the youngster straight out of the IMG Academy with their first-round pick, and it obvious that the guard possesses a wealth of raw talent. He has certainly made his presence known in the Summer League, even though he's come off the bench in every contest. Portland has little need for his services in the short-term so it seems that a trip to the G-League is a likely scenario for Simons. There. he'll have time to develop and make an impact somewhere down the line.
