Trail Blazers' Jaylen Martin: Waived by Portland
Portland waived Martin on Tuesday.
This was the expected outcome after Martin agreed to an Exhibit 10 deal with team earlier this fall. The forward is set to report to the G League's Rip City Remix.

Trail Blazers' Micah Potter: Makes most of playing time
Potter finished with 13 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds and one assist over 13 minutes in Wednesday's 123-118 preseason win over the Warriors.
Portland didn't allow Potter to pass through waivers unclaimed over the summer, so he figures to have a decent chance of making the final roster. He's set to provide frontcourt depth and may not occupy an Opening Night role, though.

Trail Blazers' Toumani Camara: Chips in five points Wednesday
Camara finished with five points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal over 19 minutes in Wednesday's 123-118 preseason win over the Warriors.
Camara made his preseason debut Wednesday. The fourth-year forward has been a full-time starter for Portland in back-to-back seasons and should retain that role in 2026-27, especially given that Shaedon Sharpe (knee) is likely to be sidelined until March.

Trail Blazers' Scoot Henderson: Decent output in preseason win
Henderson finished with nine points (3-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one block over 17 minutes in Wednesday's 123-118 preseason win over the Warriors.
Although most of the attention is on Ja Morant and Damian Lillard in Portland's revamped backcourt, Henderson should continue to play a prominent role off the bench this season. Henderson averaged a career-high 14.2 points despite playing a career-low 24.9 minutes per game last regular season.

Trail Blazers' Donovan Clingan: Mixed bag in preseason opener
Clingan finished with three points (1-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block over 20 minutes in Wednesday's 123-118 preseason win over the Warriors.
Clingan had a hard time finding the bottom of the basket in the preseason opener, but he collected a team-high 10 boards to go with a full stat line. The 2024 first-rounder added a respectable three-point shot to his arsenal and improved as a free-throw shooter a year ago, and there's still room for growth for Clingan in his third season.

Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Dominates rim against Golden State
Williams played 14 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's preseason win over the Warriors, scoring eight points (4-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and adding five rebounds, five blocks, an assist and a steal.
It was an impressive defensive showing from Williams, who should form an intriguing tandem in the paint with Donovan Clingan if he can stay healthy. Williams' 59 regular-season games played last season represented his highest total since 2021-22 with the Celtics, and he was on the court for only 26 total contests the two seasons prior.

Trail Blazers' Deni Avdija: Hits for team-high 23 in preseason win
Avdija scored a team-high 23 points (9-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT) while chipping in two rebounds and two assists in 21 minutes during Wednesday's preseason win over the Warriors.
Only four Trail Blazers scored in double digits as 17 different players got court time, but Avdija provided some stability to the shifting lineup around him. Even after the offseason additions of Ja Morant and Damian Lillard to remake the backcourt, Avdija figures to be one of the focal points of Portland's offense after a breakout 2025-26 that saw him average 24.2 points, 6.9 boards, 6.7 assists, 1.9 threes and 1.4 combined steals and blocks over 66 regular-season games.

Trail Blazers' Damian Lillard: Scores 15 points with three treys
Lillard finished with 15 points (5-11 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and two steals over 19 minutes in Wednesday's 123-118 preseason win over the Warriors.
This was Lillard's first game back on the court since tearing his Achilles on March 18, 2025, and he didn't skip a beat, scoring in a variety of ways and burying multiple triples. He didn't hesitate to get his shot up and looked comfortable sharing the backcourt with new addition Ja Morant. It was an encouraging first step for Lillard, who will look to build on his strong return Tuesday in Sacramento.

Trail Blazers' Jrue Holiday: Not starting Wednesday
Holiday won't start Wednesday's preseason game against the Warriors, Jason Quick of The Athletic reports.
Holiday has been a full-time starter for most of his career, though he isn't guaranteed to begin the 2026-27 campaign in a starting role. The Trail Blazers will start Damian Lillard, Ja Morant, Toumani Camara, Deni Avdija and Donovan Clingan in their preseason opener.

Trail Blazers' Ja Morant: Starting Wednesday
Morant will start in Wednesday's preseason opener against the Warriors, Jason Quick of The Athletic reports.
Morant will start in his Portland debut, and it'll be Damian Lillard, Deni Avdija, Toumani Camara and Donovan Clingan joining him in the first unit for Wednesday's exhibition. It'll be interesting to see how Morant works alongside Lillard in the backcourt.

Trail Blazers' Damian Lillard: Could open camp with starters
Lillard may open training camp with Portland's starting group, according to Sam Amico of Hoops Wire.
With Lillard coming off an Achilles injury and now with a questionable fit alongside Ja Morant, the Portland backcourt has been one of the league's top camp storylines. The Trail Blazers open their preseason Wednesday against Golden State, and perhaps their first exhibition starting lineup will offer a hint to their plans for the regular season. Jrue Holiday is already expected to spend more time on the wing, so Portland could experiment with three-guard lineups featuring Lillard, Morant and Holiday at times.

Trail Blazers' Ja Morant: Could start year off bench
Morant could come off the bench for Portland to begin the season, per Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site.
With Portland's backcourt fit already a talking point after Morant's arrival, a reserve role would be a notable shift for a player who has made just two appearances off the bench in his seven-year career. The Trail Blazers acquired the star guard with an eye toward him meshing with the returning Damian Lillard in the backcourt, but it sounds like the team is mulling over the idea of easing Morant into the mix. Jrue Holiday appears to be the most likely candidate to open the year as a starter if Portland ultimately decides to deploy Morant from the second unit.

Trail Blazers' Jaylen Martin: Joins Portland for camp
Martin signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Trail Blazers on Wednesday, Joe Freeman of The Oregonian reports.
Martin isn't expected to stick around long, as Freeman notes the forward is likely to join their G League affiliate for the 2026-27 season. Therefore, he's expected to be waived in the near future.

Trail Blazers' Jrue Holiday: To play more on wing
Holiday is expected to spend more time on the wing this season, per Ramona Shelbourne of ESPN.com.
The veteran point guard averaged 16.3 points and 6.1 assists per game last year, his most since 2022-23 with the Bucks, but Holiday is likely to see fewer ball-handling responsibilities now that Ja Morant and Damian Lillard are manning the backcourt. Toumani Camara is the favorite to start at small forward for Portland, but Holiday is positioned for a very significant role off the bench and is worthy of a late-round fantasy pick. He should remain a major threat from deep after hitting a career-high 2.6 three-pointers per game in 2025-26.

Trail Blazers' Ja Morant: Portland believes in him
The Trail Blazers remain confident that Morant can perform at a high level despite questions surrounding how he'll fit into Portland's crowded backcourt, general manager Joe Cronin told Ramona Shelburne of ESPN on Monday.
"Just straight belief in Ja. Our view of Ja as still a very high-level player," Cronin said, adding that Portland was "very focused on talent" when acquiring the two-time All-Star. Morant averaged 19.5 points and 8.1 assists across 20 regular-season appearances for Memphis in 2025-26, and he's expected to take on a prominent role in Portland's backcourt this season. There's also been no mention of his elbow sprain from the end of last campaign, suggesting he's 100 percent for camp.

Trail Blazers' Damian Lillard: No limitations for camp
Lillard (Achilles) is expected to enter training camp without limitations, according to Jason Quick of The Athletic.
Toumani Camara has matched up with Lillard during pre-camp workouts and was particularly impressed by the veteran guard's first step and speed following his lengthy rehabilitation. Lillard appears to be making significant progress ahead of his return to game action, though his workload and availability during the preseason will still be worth monitoring.

Trail Blazers' Mark Sears: Signs with Portland
Sears signed an Exhibit 10 deal with Portland on Wednesday, per Joe Freeman of The Oregonian.
Sears is expected to be waived and eventually moved to the G League's Rip City Remix. He was a two-way player for the Bucks last season.

Trail Blazers' Keylan Boone: Signs Exhibit 10 deal
Boone agreed to an Exhibit 10 contract with the Trail Blazers on Tuesday, Joe Freeman of The Oregonian reports.
Boone could compete for a spot on the regular-season roster, though the organization now owns his G League rights, so he may be waived before camp begins. The 25-year-old appeared in one game with the G League's South Bay Lakers in 2025-26 before suffering an ankle injury. He later returned to action with the Southland Sharks in New Zealand, with whom he averaged 17.1 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.1 assists in 26.8 minutes per contest across 16 regular-season outings.

Trail Blazers' Samson Johnson: Signs with Portland
Johnson signed an Exhibit 10 contract with Portland, Joe Freeman of The Oregonian reports.
This appears to be a procedural signing to seize Johnson's G League rights. He's expected to join the Rip City Remix this year.
