Ayton will miss at least four weeks with a calf strain

Ayton averaged 14.4 points and 10.2 rebounds per game in 40 games this season, and in the game against the Nuggets the day before yesterday, Ayton only played 19 minutes and scored 10 points, and then left the court early because of an injury.

In addition to Ayton, Henderson was also unable to play due to an ankle injury against the Nuggets on the 13th, and the 2023 draft pick has played in 47 games this season, averaging 12.4 points and 5.3 assists.

The Trail Blazers played 10 wins in 11 games before, but then lost to the Timberwolves and the Nuggets swallowed two consecutive defeats, and now they are once again lacking a center forward, which can be said to be a big blow to morale.
