Portland Trail Blazers PR: INJURY REPORT 2/3 vs. PHX: OUT Matisse Thybulle (R Ankle Sprain) QUESTIONABLE Duop Reath (G League - On Assignment) Rayan Rupert (G League - On Assignment) Jabari Walker (G League - On Assignment) Robert Williams III (R Hand Soreness)
Blazers PR: OFFICIAL: The @trailblazers have assigned center Duop Reath, guard/forward Rayan Rupert and forward Jabari Walker to the @ripcityremix .
If it's not Valanciunas, Portland's Robert Williams III stands as perhaps the most coveted center on this season’s trade market. He's another player on the Lakers' wishlist of bigs and renowned for his defensive presence. And because Williams is only in Year 3 of a four-year, $48 million deal, there's been ongoing inbound interest for Portland to navigate despite Williams' considerable injury history. Sources say that the Blazers, however, aren't eager to part ways with Williams just yet. Portland has been bullish on Williams’ pick-and-roll partnership with the Blazers' young guards since team officials, sources say, made acquiring Williams a priority as part of the return package for Jrue Holiday before the start of last season. If there's any move coming in Portland’s crowded frontcourt — which also houses Deandre Ayton, Duop Reath, and recent No. 7 overall pick Donovan Clingan — it is not expected to come until much closer to the Feb. 6 deadline.

Players to keep a close eye on include Kyle Kuzma, Nikola Vučević, Jonas Valančiūnas, Malcolm Brogdon, Lonzo Ball, De'Andre Hunter, Jakob Pöltl, Jaden Springer, Day'Ron Sharpe, Bruce Brown, PJ Tucker, Bones Hyland, KJ Martin, Duop Reath, Marcus Smart, Josh Okogie, Anfernee Simons, Kevin Huerter and Trey Lyles (among others). Some sources anticipate that the Los Angeles Clippers, New Orleans Pelicans and Cleveland Cavaliers will make moves before the deadline to reduce their salaries to fall below the NBA's luxury-tax threshold of $170.8 million.
Portland Trail Blazers PR: INJURY REPORT 12/13 vs. SAS: OUT Matisse Thybulle (R Ankle Sprain) DOUBTFUL Duop Reath (Low Back Strain) QUESTIONABLE Deandre Ayton (Illness) Donovan Clingan (L Knee Sprain) Robert Williams III (Concussion Protocol)
Sean Highkin: Duop Reath is also doubtful tomorrow with back soreness. Scoot Henderson is questionable.
It's why I've been told that Portland has received early trade calls on reserve center Duop Reath. "He's really interesting," one Western Conference executive said.
