The Portland Trail Blazers will have a clearer roster as they face the Sacramento Kings on Thursday, December 18, at 7 PM Pacific Time. Recent updates from the NBA injury report indicate that Donovan Clingan, Robert Williams III, and Yang Hansen are no longer on the injury list.
Injury Updates for the Trail Blazers
Initially listed as “Questionable,” all three players are now considered “Available” for the upcoming game. Clingan and Williams participated in their last match against the Golden State Warriors, while Hansen remained on the bench. This change provides the Trail Blazers with increased options for their lineup.
Kings Missing Key Players
The Sacramento Kings will enter this matchup without several significant players. Key injuries affecting their roster include:
- Devin Carter
- Drew Eubanks
- Zach LaVine
- Daeqwon Plowden
- Domantas Sabonis
- Isaiah Stevens
Additionally, Dennis Schroeder is listed as “Questionable,” which leaves his status uncertain before the game.
Looking for a Winning Streak
The Trail Blazers aim to secure their second consecutive victory, a feat they haven’t accomplished since late October. In contrast, the Kings have struggled recently, managing only three wins in their last 18 games. This matchup presents an opportunity for the Blazers to improve their standing and capitalize on the Kings’ challenges.
