Anfernee Simons said if he was a betting man he wouldn’t bet on his chances of playing Friday in Atlanta after he aggravated his right ankle sprain Wednesday. “Bad luck,” Simons said. – 12:52 AM

Anfernee Simons appears to have reinjured the ankle. Asked out of the game. Going back to the locker room now but walking on his own which is an encouraging sign. – 11:49 PM

After the Blazers were plus-21 with Damian Lillard on the court the last two games and outscored by 22 with him on the bench, Anfernee Simons’ return hasn’t changed things much. The Pelicans outscored Portland 22-13 with Lillard sitting to take the lead. – 10:48 PM

Hello from Portland, where the Blazers get back Anfernee Simons after he missed the first three games following the All-Star break due to an ankle sprain. But the big story is Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum playing against each other for the first time since McCollum was traded. – 10:10 PM

More on this storyline
“I don’t how severe it is,” Billups said after the game. Simons originally suffered a sprained ankle on Feb. 14 against Washington. He ended up with four points on 2-of-9 shooting against the Pelicans. “I thought it really deflated the team when Ant went down,” Billups said. “You could see it. You could feel it.” -via Oregonian / March 2, 2023
