Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (ankle) will remain out for Wednesday's meeting with Boston. The 23-year-old has played in only one of the team's last seven games as he tries to recover from a right ankle sprain. Simons has had an impressive year, scoring a career-high 21.1 points in 35.3 minutes. Cam Reddish and Matisse Thybulle have been covering for him, and both players have become viable fantasy options, although Thybulle's impact offensively is very limited.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Orlando Magic. The 23-year-old re-aggravated his right ankle sprain during Wednesday's game. It's clearly still bothering him because Simons has already been ruled out a full day in advance. Cam Reddish should return to the starting five after a fantastic 25 point outing during his last game. Fantasy managers should double check the waiver wire to make sure Reddish isn't sitting there. He looks to be a strong streaming option while Simons is out.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (ankle) has been downgraded from doubtful to out on Friday, which doesn't come as a big surprise. Hopefully, he doesn't have to sit out too long after injuring the same ankle he sprained before. For the time being, Cam Reddish will be the safest streaming option for any fantasy managers in need. If Simons is out for an extended period of time, then Shaedon Sharpe could be an option in deeper leagues as well.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (ankle) had to leave their last game after injuring the same ankle that he already sprained. After the game on Wednesday, Simons wasn't optimistic about his chances to play Friday, and the team made it official by listing him as doubtful. For any fantasy managers that need a fill-in, Cam Reddish and Shaedon Sharpe should see some extra time with the former being the better streaming option.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (ankle) was forced to exit the team's game on Wednesday night after aggravating the same ankle that he sprained before. During the post-game press conference, he was not very optimistic after he told reporters that he wouldn't bet on himself playing in Friday's game. He returned a lot earlier than teammate Justise Winslow (ankle) who experienced the same sprain and has remained out since December 21. Fantasy managers may want to have a backup plan ready when an official timetable comes out for Simons.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. The 23-year-old was questionable coming into this game, but didn't experience any issues during his pre-game routine. That being said, Simons is good to go and shouldn't be limited during this contest. Cam Reddish is expected to have a reduced role with Simons back in the lineup. Fantasy managers should double check their lineups and make sure Simons is in there for Wednesday.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (ankle) is questionable ahead of Wednesday's game versus the New Orleans Pelicans. The 23-year-old has missed his last three games because of a right ankle sprain. However, Simons was expected to be out longer, so it looks like he's close to returning, even if he doesn't get the green light for this one. If that's the case, Matisse Thybulle, who has averaged 7.1 points and 1.6 steals in 11 starts this season, could remain in the starting lineup. At the same time, Shaedon Sharpe may continue to receive extra minutes. Sharpe had 13 points in the loss to the Warriors on Tuesday, so he'll have value in deep formats if Simons can't suit up.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (ankle) is set to miss significant time after the All-Star break. The 23-year-old has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 ankle sprain, which carries a four-to-six week timetable. Justise Winslow suffered the same injury on December 21st and hasn't been on the court since then. The team is shutting down Simons and plans to re-evaluate him after the All-Star break. Matisse Thybulle and Cam Reddish should both see more minutes coming their way. The increased roles should make both Thybulle and Reddish worth rostering in 12-team formats right now.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons was the team's top scorer in Friday's 124-116 win over Washington, shooting 11-for-19 from the field and a godly 9-for-12 from downtown. Damian Lillard, who has been on a complete tear lately, settled for 29 points this time around, allowing Simons to lead the team in scoring this season for the 11th time. The young guard also produced five rebounds, six assists and one steal with only one turnover in 37 minutes. Lillard has grabbed all the headlines lately, but Simons has also been having a nice stretch on the background, scoring at least 26 points in five of his last seven outings.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons had the night of his life Saturday versus Utah, scoring a career-high 45 points in a 116-111 win. He was red-hot from deep, going 7-for-12, and shot 15-for-25 overall from the field with an 8-for-8 record at the charity stripe. Simons also managed two rebounds, four assists one steal and two blocks with seven turnovers in 41 minutes. It was a spectacular scoring performance as Simons even had 33 points in the first half alone. The 23-year-old will likely slow down significantly Sunday versus Indiana, with Damian Lillard (calf) returning, but Simons is having a very good campaign and should still play a large role offensively. He's been getting 24.8 points per game for the season with 3.0 rebounds and 4.5 assists.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons had about as good of a game as he could but it only amounted to a 112-118 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday. He posted 37 points, two rebounds, four assists, one steal, and one block on 13-for-24 shooting from the floor and 9-for-16 from deep. Simons' shooting percentages were outstanding in this game. He also played 43 minutes in this game, but he couldn't get any help from most of his teammates. So far, he's been great for scoring purposes in fantasy basketball, but his rebounding and assist numbers are on the below-average part of the spectrum.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (foot) is listed as probable for Wednesday's clash with the Hornets. The 23-year-old is dealing with Inflammation in his left foot and sat out two games last week because of it, but he was back in action Sunday versus Miami and it seems like he will also be able to play Wednesday. Simons went for a pair of back-to-back 30-point efforts before missing some time and he returned from the sidelined with a 25-point performance, so Simons is currently in very good scoring form, although the return of Damian Lillard is bound to slow him down eventually.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (foot) has officially been downgraded to out on Friday night against the Phoenix Suns. He was previously listed as questionable, but the left foot inflammation proved to be too much. Since Damian Lillard and Gary Payton II are both out as well, Shaedon Sharpe will draw another start and Josh Hart will likely see a lot of minutes thrown his way as well. Both Sharpe and Hart are most likely rostered already, but they would be worth a look in DFS lineups.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (foot) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The Blazers will already be shorthanded with Damian Lillard (calf) ruled out for this game. This team will be extremely thin at guard if Simons is unable to play. Keon Johnson and Justice Winslow would be asked to play significant roles. Also, Josh Hart would see increased usage and an uptick in playing time. Hart could be an interesting streaming option for Friday's slate, but fantasy managers should check back on Friday to see if Simons is able to play.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons took control of the offense with Damian Lillard sidelined. As we've seen him do last season, the 23-year-old stepped up his scoring output when called upon. He registered 31 points, three rebounds, and eight assists on 10-for-21 shooting and 4-for-11 from deep. His value always reaches close to the ceiling when Lillard is out. With that being said, he's still a player that every fantasy manager wants to have on their team. As time goes on, the hope is that he starts to gel more with everyone healthy.

Portland Trail Blazers shooting guard Anfernee Simons was outstanding in Monday's 135-110 win over Denver, scoring 29 points on 7-for-12 shooting from three-point range. He hit six triples and exploded for 22 points in the third quarter. The 23-year-old finished with 11-for-17 overall shooting from the field and picked up three rebounds with five assists, one steal, one block and one turnover. The Nuggets couldn't handle the Blazers' backcourt here, as Damian Lillard notched a game-high 31 points alongside Simons. The prolific duo is now set to start a pretty bad stretch of games, starting with Wednesday's matchup against Miami, but Portland is off to a perfect 4-0 start and the team should be feeling confident entering even the toughest of games.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons has agreed to a brand new deal with the organization. The young guard has agreed to a four-year $100 million deal. Simons averaged 17.3 points per game last season, but that was mainly because Damian Lillard was sidelined a majority of the year due to injury. It's unlikely that Simons is going to have the same success with Lillard healthy next season. That being said, Simons probably won't be anything more than a late round option on draft day.

The Trail Blazers extended a qualifying offer to guard Anfernee Simons on Wednesday. The move makes him a restricted free agent, giving Portland the edge in retaining his services. The 24th overall pick of the 2018 NBA Draft is coming off the best season of his career, averaging 17.3 points while shooting 40.5% from behind the arc. As a result, Simons will likely draw interest from numerous clubs around the league. However, he should remain an adequate producer on the fantasy end regardless of where he suits up in 2022-23.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons is hopeful that he can remain with the organization. He is in the final year of his rookie deal, but is confident the two sides can agree on a deal. Simons averaged 17.3 points with 3.9 assists and 2.6 rebounds, which are all career highs for the young guard. He'll likely receive a qualifying offer from the Blazers and they will negotiate from there. He should have an opportunity to be a big part of the roster alongside Damian Lillard.

Portland Trail Blazers point guard Anfernee Simons (knee) has been shut down for the time being, with the team set to re-evaluate the 22-year-old in the next one to two weeks. Simons is battling mild patellar tendinopathy in his left knee, an ailment which could keep him out for the remainder of the season. Already down Damian Lillard (abdominal), the Blazers backcourt options have dwindled quickly. Brandon Williams is on track to continue seeing a massive role Saturday vs. Washington, while Josh Hart, CJ Ellebyand Ben McLemore can all be expected to continue seeing sizable workloads without Simons in the mix. In the midst of a breakout campaign where he has averaged 17.3 points per game, Simons will miss at least the next four games as Portland determines its next steps.
