Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Officially out Wednesday
Williams (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Warriors.
The big man will begin the season on the sidelines, though the club is hopeful he will return to game action soon, according to Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com. If the 27-year-old misses additional time, Donovan Clingan and Duop Reath are candidates for more playing time. Williams' next chance to suit up will come Friday against New Orleans.

Trail Blazers' Scoot Henderson: Option picked up
The Trail Blazers picked up Henderson's third-year team option Saturday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
No surprise here, as the No. 3 pick in last year's NBA Draft remains a pillar in Portland's plans going forward. However, he did struggle during his rookie campaign, shooting 38.5 percent from the field and committing 3.4 turnovers per game. Still, the point guard flashed promising signs as the season progressed, averaging 18.9 points, 3.6 rebounds, 7.9 assists, 1.4 steals and 2.3 triples across the final 14 games of the regular season. He is expected to start alongside Anfernee Simons in the backcourt this season.

Sharpe suffered a small posterior labral tear in his left shoulder that is expected to keep him sidelined a few weeks into the regular season. Still, his option being picked up indicates Portland views him in its plans going forward. When healthy, he is expected to provide depth on the wing this season.

Walker (ankle) didn't play in Friday's 124-86 preseason loss to the Jazz.

Trail Blazers' Jerami Grant: Pops for 18 against Utah
Grant scored 18 points (7-11 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT) while adding seven assists, three rebounds, three steals and three assists in 23 minutes during Friday's 124-86 preseason win over the Jazz.
Utah didn't play any of its starters more than 19 minutes, so a lot of Grant's production came against bench players, but it was still an impressive finish to the preseason for the veteran forward. Grant will have a key role on a rebuilding Blazers squad, and usage alone should allow him to post his third straight season averaging at least 20 points and two three-pointers a game.

Trail Blazers' Donovan Clingan: Dominates glass in final tune-up
Clingan scored 14 points (7-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt) while adding 20 rebounds, four assists and four blocks over 24 minutes in Friday's 124-86 preseason win over the Jazz.
In Portland's final preseason game, Clingan simply dominated the glass, pulling down nearly twice as many boards as Utah's Walker Kessler and John Collins combined. The seventh overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft will be stuck in a bench role to begin the season behind Deandre Ayton, but Clingan's rebounding and rejections might still provide fantasy utility right out of the gates.
