Kaman has a right ankle sprain and will sit out Wednesday's game.He will miss the Blazers' final game before the All-Star break, which makes sense considering Portland is playing the lowly Lakers, and should be able to get a win without Kaman. He should be considered questionable for the Feb. 20 game in Utah.

Kaman played 16 minutes off the bench, returning from his sore back, scoring four points (2-6 FG) with five rebounds and one block.
With Robin Lopez back in the fold, Kaman's value has taken a significant hit and shouldn't be owned in standard leagues. He will still be a valuable piece of Portland's title push, but not for your fantasy team's similar goal.

Kaman (back) is active for Saturday's game in Dallas.
After sitting out Thursday due to a sore lower back, Kaman is available to the Blazers' froncourt Saturday. Don't be surprised, though, if he fails to uphold the 21 minutes per game from his first season in Portland.

Kaman's (back) availability for Saturday's contest at Dallas is to be determined, the Blazers' official site reports.
After sitting out Thursday due to discomfort in his lower back, Kaman said that he intended to play Saturday. Currently, he's going through his typical pregame shooting routine, after which coach Terry Stotts should make a determination regarding Kaman's status. No matter, Meyers Leonard is certain to hold down a reserve role in the frontcourt Saturday.

Kaman won't take the court Thursday against the Suns due to pain in his lower back.
Kaman's absence opens the door for Meyers Leonard to act as the primary big man off the Blazers' bench, but Thomas Robinson should also pick up a bit of run. With a back-to-back set on tap Saturday (in Dallas) and Sunday (at Houston), Kaman could receive additional rest in the week leading up to the All-Star break.

Kaman Kaman is questionable for Saturday's game with a leg contusion, but it was also announced that he's been playing with a torn tendon in his right thumb, the Oregonian reports.
Since this is the first we're hearing of the thumb injury, it appears to be something Kaman can adequately play with. He's shooting 49 percent on the season, which is right in line with Kaman's career mark.

Kaman is dealing with a leg contusion and is considered questionable for Saturday's game against the Wizards.
Kaman is in store for added minutes on the court moving forward with the extended absence of LaMarcus Aldridge (thumb). However, Kaman will have to be examined after Saturday's morning shootaround to determine if he'll even be available against the Wizards.

Kaman started against the Heat on Thursday and put up 10 points, nine rebounds, and two blocks in 21 minutes.
Kaman also started Monday and is currently averaging 24.5 minutes over the last two contests. Even though he seems to be the new starter with injuries to Robin Lopez (hand) and Joel Freeland (shoulder), Kaman has been given a marginally increased role with the team when considering that he averages 19.2 minutes per game this season. This small promotion will likely continue for as long as either Freeland or Lopez stay sidelined, and at this point it would appear that Kaman likely has around two weeks left before Freeland returns to the court.

Kaman will likely draw the start Thursday against Miami, per coach Terry Stotts.
With Joel Freeland (shoulder) sidelined two weeks and Robin Lopez (hand) still out, Kaman is the next man up in the Portland frontcourt. He started Monday's win over the Lakers and put up eight points and 11 rebounds in 27 minutes. Barring an unforeseen move, Kaman should be the starter for the next several games, so long as Freeland and Lopez remain out.
