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.

Trail Blazers' Mark Armstrong: Signing with Portland
Armstrong is signing an Exhibit 10 contract with the Trail Blazers on Tuesday, Joe Freeman of The Oregonian reports.
This looks like a procedural move to acquire Armstrong's G League rights. He's expected to report to the Rip City Remix ahead of the season.

Trail Blazers' Hyunjung Lee: Lands Exhibit 10 deal
Lee agreed to an Exhibit 10 contract with Portland on Sept. 7, per Sean Highkin of The Rose Garden Report.
Lee joined the Spurs for Summer League this offseason and is now set to compete for a spot on Portland's regular-season roster. The Trail Blazers also own the 25-year-old's G League rights. He most recently played for Nagasaki Velca in the Japanese B.League in 2025-26 and last appeared in the G League for the Santa Cruz Warriors in 2022-23.

Trail Blazers' Ja Morant: Joining crowded backcourt
Morant (elbow) is set to share the playmaking duties with Damian Lillard (Achilles) in Portland's starting backcourt after being traded from Memphis.
Chris Haynes of NBA TV reported when the trade went down that the Trail Blazers had a Morant and Lillard backcourt pairing in mind, so it'll be interesting to see how the ball-handling responsibilities are divvied up in 2026-27 should they stick to that plan. Morant endured yet another injury-plagued campaign with the Grizzlies in 2025-26, making just 20 regular-season appearances while shooting a career-low 41.0 percent from the floor and 23.5 percent from deep, and he's reached the 60-game mark just one time over the past five seasons. With plenty of questions surrounding his fit in his new digs, the dynamic 27-year-old point guard is shaping up as a difficult fantasy player to rank as a high-risk, high-reward gamble in the second half of drafts.

Trail Blazers' Yang Hansen: Leads China to victory
Hansen registered 19 points (8-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one block in 25 minutes during China's 89-87 win over Lebanon in Monday's FIBA World Cup qualifier.
Hansen starred for China on Monday, leading the club in scoring and rebounding. Hansen, a 2025 first-rounder, is looking to carve out a more prominent role in his second season with Portland, but he'll likely need to overtake Robert Williams and Micah Potter for a rotation spot. With that in mind, Hansen's most likely pathway to steady playing time resides with the G League's Rip City Remix.

Trail Blazers' Deni Avdija: Not cleared for qualifiers
Avdija said the Trail Blazers did not clear him to play for Israel during the FIBA World Cup qualifiers due to the back injury he dealt with last season, Sam Amico of HoopsWire reports.
Avdija explained that he wanted to represent Israel but that Portland wasn't willing to risk his health while he recovered from what he described as a complex back injury. The 25-year-old dealt with the issue beginning in January but still put together a breakout 2025-26 campaign, averaging 24.2 points, 6.9 rebounds and 6.7 assists across 66 regular-season appearances while earning his first All-Star selection.

Trail Blazers' Yang Hansen: Shines for China
Hansen recorded 15 points (7-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 20 minutes during China's 83-57 win over Qatar in Thursday's FIBA World Cup qualifier.
Hansen came off the bench but led China in both scoring and rebounding, continuing an encouraging offseason for the 21-year-old center. The 2025 first-round pick had a limited role as a rookie with Portland, averaging just 2.2 points and 1.5 rebounds per game during the regular season, but he'll have an opportunity to push for a larger role in his sophomore campaign.

Trail Blazers' Shaedon Sharpe: Expected to miss six months
Sharpe suffered a torn meniscus in his right knee and is expected to miss six months, per Shams Charania of ESPN.
It's a tough blow to the Trail Blazers' depth on the wing ahead of training camp. Sharpe, who is now likely to be sidelined until after the All-Star break, had been ticketed for a reserve role behind Toumani Camara following an injury-plagued 2025-26 campaign, which saw Sharpe average a career-high 20.8 points, 1.4 steals and 2.1 three-pointers per game over 50 regular-season appearances. The door is now open for Vit Krejci and Jeremy Sochan to compete for bench minutes during camp.

Trail Blazers' Jeremy Sochan: Inks deal with Portland
Sochan agreed to a one-year contract with the Trail Blazers on Saturday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Sochan will join the Trail Blazers on a one-year pact after splitting time between the Spurs and Knicks during the 2025-26 campaign. The Baylor product appeared in 44 regular-season games between the two clubs, averaging 3.6 points, 2.4 rebounds and 0.9 assists in 10.7 minutes per contest after averaging double-digit scoring marks in each of his first three NBA seasons. The 23-year-old forward will look to carve out a role off the bench and rediscover his form in Portland.

Trail Blazers' Shaedon Sharpe: More competition coming
Sharpe could face increased competition for offensive opportunities after Portland acquired Ja Morant, according to Robert Ohman of Willamette Week.
Sharpe has been mentioned as a potential trade candidate as the Trail Blazers reshape their roster, though he can provide a scoring punch if he stays in Portland. His long-term upside remains intriguing, but Morant's arrival may cap his usage entering 2026-27.

Trail Blazers' Toumani Camara: Will play key role
Camara should continue to play a major role following Portland's trade for Ja Morant, according to Robert Ohman of Willamette Week.
The Trail Blazers have been reluctant to include Camara in trade discussions because of his defensive value, and he'll remain an important complementary piece alongside Ja Morant, Damian Lillard and Deni Avdija. Camara's fantasy value should continue to be driven primarily by steals, rebounds and hustle stats in general.

Trail Blazers' Deni Avdija: To remain heavily involved
Avdija's outlook remains bright despite Portland's acquisition of Ja Morant, according to Robert Ohman of Willamette Week.
Morant's arrival could reduce Avdija's on-ball responsibilities after his breakout campaign, but the Trail Blazers continue to view him as a foundational piece. Even if his usage declines slightly, Avdija's ability to contribute across every category should keep him among Portland's top fantasy options.
