Banton will be available for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Banton agreed to a 10-day contract with the Clippers on Saturday and will suit up Sunday now that the deal has been made official. The 26-year-old is unlikely to factor into the LA rotation, though he'll provide depth at guard and on the wing while trade-deadline pickups Darius Garland (toe) and Bennedict Mathurin aren't available.

The Clippers are signing Banton to a 10-day contract, Law Murray of The Athletic reports Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Banton has spent the entire 2025-26 season with the Texas Legends in the G League, where he is averaging 23.7 points, 5.9 assists, 2.8 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 0.9 blocks over 33.3 minutes per game. He'll give the Clippers some added backcourt depth in the absences of Darius Garland (toe/recently traded) and Bennedict Mathurin (recently traded). Banton appeared in 67 regular-season games (seven starts) for the Trail Blazers during the 2024-25 campaign and averaged 8.3 points, 2.4 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 1.1 threes over 16.7 minutes per game.

Banton (rest) will be available for Wednesday's preseason game against the Lakers, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

After missing Monday's preseason matchup against the Jazz for rest purposes, Banton will return to the floor. D'Angelo Russell (rest) and Brandon Williams (hamstring) have also been cleared to play.

Banton (rest) won't play in Monday's preseason game against the Jazz, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Banton (rest) has been ruled out for Saturday's preseason game against the Hornets, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Banton signed with the team on Tuesday. He joins Dante Exum (knee) and Caleb Martin (undisclosed), who were also ruled out ahead of this preseason matchup.

Banton signed a deal with the Mavericks on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The terms of the deal were not disclosed, so this may simply be an Exhibit 10 contract. The Mavericks currently don't have a roster spot open, but that doesn't mean Banton couldn't find his way onto the official roster. The guard holds career regular-season averages of 6.8 points, 2.2 rebounds and 2.0 assists.

Banton accumulated 23 points (8-22 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Sunday's 109-81 victory over the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Banton finished the regular season in a starting role due to the absence of several other regulars in the rotation. Still, the former Nebraska standout made the most of the opportunity. He scored in double figures in six of his last seven starts, a stretch in which he averaged 16.0 points, 3.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.0 blocks per game, although the efficiency was lacking since he made only 33.6 percent of his shots and 22.2 percent of his treys.

Banton amassed 20 points (7-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-6 FT), two rebounds, six assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Sunday's 120-109 victory over San Antonio.

EDGE Analysis

This was Banton's eighth game of the campaign with at least 20 points. Portland's injury report is as lengthy as it gets, and that could remain the case for the final three games of the regular season. In his last four appearances, Banton has emerged on the streaming radar with 18.8 points, 4.0 assists, 3.8 rebounds, 1.3 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers per game.

Banton posted 21 points (9-22 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one block across 34 minutes during Friday's 118-113 loss to the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

Making his third straight start with both Anfernee Simons (forearm) and Scoot Henderson (concussion) unavailable, Banton put together another productive night. The 25-year-old has averaged 33.0 minutes in those starts while delivering 18.3 points, 4.3 boards, 3.3 assists, 2.0 threes and 1.7 blocks. Portland is all but eliminated from the postseason picture -- the team is 3.5 games back of Sacramento for the 10th seed in the Western Conference, with four games left on the Trail Blazers' schedule -- so there may be little incentive to rush Simons and Henderson back into action, leaving Banton with a clear path to continues fantasy value the rest of the way.

Banton closed with 23 points (8-19 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 37 minutes during Thursday's 112-103 victory over the Raptors.

EDGE Analysis

Anfernee Simons missed his second straight game due to a right forearm contusion, and the Trail Blazers continue to be very shorthanded. Although he hasn't shot the ball well, Banton is worth a look for the final five games of the regular season. In his last two appearances, Banton produced 17.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.0 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers.
