Deandre Ayton Out At Least Four Weeks With Calf Strain
Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (calf) has been ruled out for at least four weeks. He suffered a left calf strain in Monday's contest against the Denver Nuggets. This is a bitter blow for Ayton, who has performed well in 2025. Donovan Clingan will take over from Ayton as the starting center in Wednesday's rematch against the Nuggets. The 7-foot-2 rookie has averaged 6.8 points, 9.9 rebounds, and 2.9 blocks in 22.1 minutes as a starter. Robert Williams III (knee) might also see increased usage during Ayton's absence; however, health issues have restricted him to just eight appearances since the beginning of the year, and Williams III is currently out of the lineup due to right knee soreness.
