Trail Blazers' Anfernee Simons: Posts 28 points in return
Simons (thumb) produced 28 points (10-27 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists and one rebound across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 110-106 loss to Golden State.
Simons faced no limitations in his return to action Wednesday after he had missed the Trail Blazers' previous 18 games while recovering from right thumb surgery. Not only did he reclaim his spot in the starting five, but he also paced the Trail Blazers in field-goal attempts and trailed only Shaedon Sharpe (42) in minutes. With fellow guard Malcolm Brogdon (knee) exiting early with an injury that could cost him time, Simons could be thrust into more responsibilities as a playmaker beginning with Friday's game against the Mavericks.

Trail Blazers' Anfernee Simons: Questionable for Wednesday
Simons (thumb) is officially questionable for Wednesday's game against the Warriors.
Simons has been sidelined for over a month, but he returned to practice Monday and is considered day-to-day. Portland has ruled out Jerami Grant (concussion) for Wednesday, and Deandre Ayton (knee) is doubtful, so Simons could step into a massive role on offense right away.

Trail Blazers' Anfernee Simons: Considered day-to-day
Simons (thumb) practiced Monday and is considered day-to-day, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
Simons recorded 18 points (6-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four assists, two rebounds and two steals in 27 minutes during Portland's regular-season opener. He was then labeled as probable for the team's ensuing game due to a right thumb sprain. However, the injury wound up being more serious than initially anticipated, and he ultimately underwent surgery Oct. 31 to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right thumb. He was expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks, but it appears he could return closer to the front end of that timeline. Simons' official status for Wednesday's matchup versus the Warriors remains to be determined, but his return to game action appears imminent, barring setbacks.

Simons remains 2-to-3 weeks away from returning to action after suffering a torn UCL in his right thumb in late October. The 24-year-old continues ramping up and appears on track with the long end of his initial 4-to-6 week recovery timeline.

Trail Blazers' Anfernee Simons: Requires surgery, out 4-to-6 weeks
Simons has been diagnosed with a torn UCL in his right thumb and will undergo surgery that is expected to sideline him for 4-to-6 weeks.
Simons sustained his thumb injury during Wednesday's loss to the Clippers and underwent an MRI on Thursday. While his status for Friday's game against the Magic was initially up in the air, he's now facing a multi-week absence following his diagnosis and should be unavailable until at least late November or early December. Shaedon Sharpe and Malcolm Brogdon should see increased work during Simons' absence.

Trail Blazers' Anfernee Simons: Downgraded to questionable
Simons (thumb) has been downgraded to questionable for Friday's game against the Magic.
Simons was initially deemed probable for Friday's matchup due to a right thumb sprain, but his availability is now murkier in the hours leading up to tipoff. If he's unable to suit up against Orlando, Shaedon Sharpe and Malcolm Brogdon will likely see additional run.

Simons is probable for Friday's game against the Magic with a right thumb sprain.

Trail Blazers' Anfernee Simons: Puts up 18 points in loss
Simons ended with 18 points (6-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four assists, two rebounds and two steals in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 123-111 loss to the Clippers.
The Trail Blazers are in rebuilding mode, but Simons has been a mainstay for four years and has extensive experience in filling Damian Lillard's shoes. While the team drafted Scoot Henderson to start the transition, replacing Lillard will take more than one effective player, and Simons will be one of the main sparkplugs to ignite the offense, just as he did in Wednesday's season opener.

Trail Blazers' Anfernee Simons: Ready to roll
Simons is not on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.
Simons sat out of the preseason finale on Oct. 16 for rest purposes, so his status for Opening Night wasn't in danger. He'll have the green light shoot as much as he pleases in Portland's revamped offense.
