Victor Claver said that his sprained ankle is feeling "much better," but he's not expected to play on Tuesday. Claver was so swollen and sore when it first happened that he couldn't walk, but he's now able to walk despite there still being some swelling in his ankle. The earliest Claver could return looks to be after Tuesday's game, but even he is uncertain of his return date. "I don't know," he said. The Blazers are listing him as day-to-day.

Victor Claver (ankle) will not play in Sunday's game vs. the Hornets. Claver hurt himself on Friday and said afterward that his ankle was "really swollen," so it's not surprising to see him miss a few days. He has been logging minutes as a backup PF lately, though he remains a non-factor in fantasy leagues.

Victor Claver tweeted after the game that his injured left ankle was "really swollen." Claver left Friday's game and did not return, and added he was "doing his best to get better soon." With Meyers Leonard also going down, the Blazers' Eric Maynor and anybody else that shows up with a pulse will have more than ample opportunity to at least make waves.

Victor Claver turned his left ankle in the first half of Friday's game against the Spurs. The Blazers are turning ankles all over the place and with Meyers Leonard also hurting his right ankle, Jared Jeffries will likely have to play bench power forward minutes.

Victor Claver grabbed 10 boards in 20 minutes against the Celtics on Sunday, adding four points, two steals and one block. Terry Stotts said that he will play Claver more at the four to stretch the defense and he kept true to his word. Although, he won't be a big enough part of the offense to be owned in most leagues.

Terry Stotts said that he could see more time as a stretch four for the Blazers. It's no secret that the Blazers have the worst bench in the NBA and rank dead last in points per game as a unit. Claver is playing just 13.5 minutes per game this year, so this news isn't likely to put him over the 20-minute mark while the Blazers are healthy. He could be the best option on the bench, but that isn't saying much.

Victor Claver started for Wesley Matthews (ankle) on Tuesday but had just four points in 21 minutes. As usual, no one on the Blazers' bench is worth fantasy consideration, even when they're randomly starting for an injured teammate.

Victor Claver scored three points in 18 minutes on Saturday, starting at SG in place of Wesley Matthews (ankle). Claver has six DNPs and just three points in Portland's previous 10 games and we didn't expect much more than this from him. Claver will likely start again if Matthews is forced to miss Monday's game, but Matthews was in uniform and hopeful to play tonight.

Blazers F Victor Claver (illness) is not expected to play Tuesday. Claver, a 24-year-old rookie out of Spain, has appeared in just eight of the Blazers' 15 games this month.

The Trail Blazers have recalled Victor Claver from their D-League affiliate, the Idaho Stampede. He averaged 9.0 points on just 30 percent shooting in four games with the Stampede, and even with Wesley Matthews (hip) hurting Claver isn't a viable fantasy option.
