Dalano Banton Downgraded To Questionable
3 weeks agoPortland Trail Blazers guard Dalano Banton (ankle) has been downgraded to questionable for Thursday's game versus the Golden State Warriors. A late addition to the injury report, Banton may need to sit out the front end of Portland's back-to-back on Thursday with a sprained left ankle. The 24-year-old point forward has taken on an expanded role for the 21-58 Blazers down the stretch, averaging 18.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.0 steals, and 2.4 three-pointers over his latest 20 games (seven starts). Scoot Henderson could be relied on for playmaking duties against Golden State, averaging 18.4 points, 8.1 dimes, 3.5 boards, 1.3 swipes, and 2.1 threes across his last 10 outings, and his matchup outlook would also improve significantly if Klay Thompson (knee) sits out on Thursday.
