Trail Blazers' Micah Potter: Available to suit up Wednesday
Potter (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against Phoenix.
Potter was in danger of missing this contest, though after recently being upgraded to probable, he is now officially good to go Wednesday night. However, even though the 28-year-old is cleared to suit up, that doesn't mean he'll be on the floor often on Opening Night.

Trail Blazers' Micah Potter: Questionable for Wednesday
Potter (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Suns.
Potter missed Portland's preseason finale due to this illness and now he's in danger of missing Opening Night. However, Potter is not expected to have a significant role in the rotation, so his playing status won't impact fantasy leagues.

Trail Blazers' Micah Potter: Won't play Friday
Potter has been ruled out for Friday's preseason finale against the Warriors due to an illness.
Potter isn't feeling well and will miss Portland's final exhibition match, but he should be good to go for Wednesday's regular-season opener versus Phoenix. Potter will conclude his preseason run with averages of 6.7 points and 3.0 rebounds in 10.8 minutes per game.

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' Micah Potter: Claimed by Trail Blazers
Potter was claimed off waivers by Portland on Friday.
Potter bounced around the league before spending most of the 2025-26 campaign in Indiana. In 47 regular-season appearances with the Pacers, he averaged 9.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.3 blocks and 0.5 steals across 19.3 minutes. It's unknown what kind of role Potter will have in Portland, though it's reasonable to assume the Trail Blazers acquired him for depth purposes.

Micah Potter: To be waived by Pacers
Potter will be waived by the Pacers, per Alex Golden of SI.com.
The expectation originally was that the Pacers would pick up Potter's team option, but the team has had second thoughts after signing Larry Nance earlier Wednesday. Potter's absence from Indiana's frontcourt will leave Jay Huff and Nance to battle for the backup center role behind Ivica Zubac in 2026-27.

Pacers' Micah Potter: Returning to Pacers
The Pacers will exercise the team option on Potter's contract for the 2026-27 season, per Tony East of Forbes.com.

The Wisconsin product enjoyed a career campaign in 2025-26, averaging 9.7 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 19.3 minutes per game over 47 appearances, and he appears to be the early favorite for the backup center role behind Ivica Zubac next year.

Potter produced 13 points (5-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt), 10 rebounds, one block and one steal in 24 minutes during Friday's 105-94 loss to Philadelphia.
Potter has been limited to just six starts this season, but the former Wisconsin standout is ending the season on a strong note regardless of his role. Potter has three double-doubles over his last four appearances, and he's scored in double digits in six of his last eight contests. Over that eight-game stretch, he's averaging 13.6 points and 7.1 rebounds per game. He's a player to keep close tabs on, because he's likely to have a sizable role in Sunday's season-finale against the Pistons.
