Trail Blazers' Nassir Little: To miss at least a week
Little (ankle) will miss at least a week as he deals with a sprained left ankle, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports.
Little was held out of Tuesday's win over Detroit, and if this timetable holds up, he'll be set to miss at least three more contests, beginning with Thursday's home matchup against the Spurs. Norman Powell (quad) is currently questionable for that contest, so if both he and Little sit out, the Blazers -- who will be without Damian Lillard (abdomen) for at least 10 days -- could be quite shorthanded on the wing.

Trail Blazers' Nassir Little: Out Tuesday
Little (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's contest against the Pistons, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
Little will miss his first game of the season Tuesday. The backup forward is averaging 8.3 points and 5.3 rebounds across 22.4 minutes per game. Tony Snell, Ben McLemore and Larry Nance will likely all see slightly increased roles Tuesday, as the Blazers will be without both Little and starting small forward Norman Powell.

Little finished with 16 points (7-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 125-121 loss to the Kings.

Trail Blazers' Nassir Little: Scores 13 with two steals
Little ended Sunday's 124-95 loss to the Nuggets with 13 points (4-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 29 minutes.
The North Carolina product has looked good in each of his last two showings after putting up 13 points, 14 boards and two steals in Friday's win at Houston. He's now played at least 22 minutes in each of the last three games and could eventually challenge Robert Covington, who saw only 19 minutes Sunday, for the starting power forward spot.

Trail Blazers' Nassir Little: Puts up double-double
Little registered 13 points (6-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 28 minutes during Friday's 104-92 win over the Rockets.
Little isn't known for being a reliable offensive threat in Portland's scheme, and this was just the third time he scored in double digits all season long. This could easily be classified as his best game of the campaign after putting up season-high marks in both points and rebounds, but it would be a stretch to imagine him putting up these kind of figures on a regular basis going forward, especially if he's coming off the bench.

Trail Blazers' Nassir Little: Solid in starting role
Little totaled 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist, two steals and two blocked shots over 32 minutes Monday in a loss to the Clippers.
With Norman Powell sidelined due to a knee injury, Little stepped into the starting lineup and was one of the more productive Blazers in the ugly loss. Though his performance wasn't earth-shattering, Little finished as one of four Portland players with double-digit scoring and converted over half his shot attempts on a night when the team shot only 38.1 percent from the field collectively. Little also chipped in with a pair of steals and blocked shots on the defensive end, which could help him retain a starting role for however long Powell remains out.

Trail Blazers' Nassir Little: Portland exercises rookie option
The Blazers exercised the fourth-year rookie scale option to retain Little on Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Little is about to enter his third year of his rookie deal, but the Blazers have elected to retain him for the entire four years of his contract. The 21-year-old appeared in 48 contests for Portland last year and averaged 4.6 points and 2.7 rebounds across 13.3 minutes per game. This year, he will likely compete with Tony Snell and Larry Nance for backup minutes behind Robert Covington and Norman Powell. The 6-foot-5 forward will be due approximately $4.1 million next year.
