Anfernee Simons Returns To Trail Blazers Lineup
9 months agoPortland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (knee) will rejoin the action on Saturday against New Orleans. He has been upgraded from probable to available. Simons couldn't play on Thursday versus the Knicks due to a knee problem. Scoot Henderson picked up a start in his place and will head back to the second unit on Saturday while remaining on a minutes restriction. Simons is a high-usage player who leads Portland in scoring, and he will be asked to do a lot on the offensive end on Saturday because the team remains without three of its other top four highest scorers. In eight March appearances, Simons has taken his scoring average from 23.0 points to 24.9 points, adding 4.8 rebounds and 6.9 assists.
