Coach Chauncey Billups said Monday that Simons (thumb) should be available for Wednesday's season opener against the Kings, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Simons missed the final two exhibition games, but it looks like he will be available for the Blazers on Wednesday. The 22-year-old averaged 7.8 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists across 17.3 minutes per game last season and should see a similar workload during the 2021-22 campaign.
