Duop Reath Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Kings vs Trail Blazers game on Thursday with our National Basketball Association injury report.Dec 4, 2025
Unproductive in win
Reath had four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and two rebounds over 11 minutes during Wednesday's 122-110 victory over the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Reath was unable to take advantage of the opportunity with Robert Williams (knee) out, as he ceded some minutes to rookie Yang Hansen. With Williams slated to return Friday, Reath will return to irrelevancy.
Nov 20, 2025
Fails to score in loss
Reath amassed no counting stats in three minutes during Wednesday's 122-121 loss to the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Reath's poor season continued Wednesday, failing to score in just three minutes. Even with Robert Williams sidelined as part of his injury management, Reath was unable to carve out a meaningful role. He can be safely left on the waiver wire in all formats.
Nov 6, 2025
Drops 12 in win
Reath notched 12 points (4-5 FG, 4-5 3Pt) and two assists in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 121-119 victory over Oklahoma City.
ANALYSIS
Reath saw majority of the minutes at center backing up Donovan Clingan with Robert Williams (knee) getting back to speed, and made the most of his opportunity, scoring in double digits for the first time since Mar. 27 of last season. If Williams continues to have a minutes restriction, Reath may receive more chances to contribute.
Apr 9, 2025
Cleared to face Jazz
Reath (knee) will play in Wednesday's game against Utah.
ANALYSIS
Reath will return from a two-game absence due to a right knee injury. His availability could mean fewer opportunities for Jabari Walker. Reath is averaging 4.3 points and 2.0 rebounds across 10.3 minutes per game this season.
Apr 8, 2025
Iffy for Wednesday
Reath (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Reath is in danger of missing his third straight contest Wednesday due to right knee soreness. If Reath is downgraded to out yet again, Jabari Walker should continue to receive increased playing time.
Apr 6, 2025
Won't play Sunday
Reath (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Spurs, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.
ANALYSIS
Reath will miss a second straight game for the Trail Blazers due to right knee soreness. Jabari Walker may see a boost in minutes with Reath ruled out against San Antonio.
Apr 5, 2025
Questionable to face San Antonio
Reath (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Reath has been dealing with right knee soreness, and the big man could be in danger of missing a second straight contest due to the injury. Even if available, Reath isn't expected to see enough minutes to be relevant in most fantasy formats.
Apr 4, 2025
Won't play against Chicago
Reath (knee) is out for Friday's game versus the Bulls, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Reath has been downgraded from questionable to out Friday due to right knee soreness. Jabari Walker will likely receive increased playing time in his absence. Reath's next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with San Antonio.
Apr 4, 2025
Iffy for Friday
Reath is questionable for Friday's game against the Bulls with right knee soreness.
ANALYSIS
Reath picked up this issue Thursday against the Raptors and left the game for good after six minutes. If he's unable to go Friday, Jabari Walker could pick up a handful of minutes.
Apr 3, 2025
Won't return Thursday
Reath (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Thursday's game against the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Reath will finish the game with two points (1-1 FG), one rebound, one assist and one steal across only six minutes due to the right knee injury. Jabari Walker could see a slight uptick in playing time the rest of the way due to Reath being sidelined.
Apr 3, 2025
Picks up knee injury
Reath is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Raptors due to a right knee injury.
ANALYSIS
The nature of Reath's injury is unknown at this time. Jabari Walker would be in line for more opportunities if Reath is unable to return.
Mar 28, 2025
Paces second unit in defeat
Reath ended Thursday's 128-107 loss to the Kings with 17 points (5-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 28 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Reath led the second unit in scoring Thursday, logging season-high marks in points and three-pointers. The big man has received an uptick in playing time of late due to Deandre Ayton (calf), Jerami Grant (knee) and Robert Williams (knee) all being sidelined. Over his last 10 appearances, Reath has averaged 8.7 points and 4.2 rebounds across 20.8 minutes per contest. Prior to the All-Star break, he had averaged only 5.3 minutes per game across 26 appearances.
Mar 18, 2025
Scores 15 points in win
Reath supplied 15 points (5-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 23 minutes during Monday's 112-97 victory over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Robert Williams (knee) hasn't seen the floor since Feb. 22 and it's unclear when Deandre Ayton (calf) will be able to return, giving Reath a firm grip on the backup center minutes. He's trending up over his last three outings, averaging 10.0 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.7 steals, 1.7 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers in just 19.8 minutes per contest.
Mar 10, 2025
Blocks three shots
Reath supplied five points (1-9 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and three steals across 25 minutes during Sunday's 119-112 loss to the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
For the second time in his career, Reath swatted three shots in Sunday's loss. Donovan Clingan hasn't been making much noise lately, leaving the door open for Reath to possibly earn a larger role. In just 18.7 minutes per contest over his last five games, Reath has produced top-200 value in nine-category formats with 6.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.8 blocks.
Mar 3, 2025
Season-high 13 points in win
Reath contributed 13 points (5-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 18 minutes during Monday's 119-102 victory over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Reath recorded a season-high mark in points while playing double-digit minutes for a second consecutive contest. Additionally, the 28-year-old set a new season high in blocks as well. The big man has played in 30 outings this season, averaging only 6.3 minutes per game while seeing 10 or more minutes of playing time in just six of his appearances. Reath could stay in the club's rotation if Robert Williams (knee) remains sidelined alongside Deandre Ayton (calf).
Feb 23, 2025
Drops eight points in win
Reath registered eight points (4-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 11 minutes during Saturday's 141-88 victory over Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
Reath was inserted into the rotation, playing down the stretch as the Trail Blazers easily accounted for whatever it was the Hornets threw at them. While it is good to see Reath back on the court, given he has played only twice in the past six games, there is no reason to think this is anything more than a cameo.
Feb 5, 2025
Recalled to NBA
Portland recalled Reath from the G League's Rip City Remix on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Reath had quite the showing in Monday's loss against the Windy City Bulls, finishing with 36 points (13-28 FG, 4-14 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 13 rebounds and three assists across 35 minutes. He hasn't seen much action with Portland, however, and he's a name to watch at the trade deadline.
Feb 1, 2025
Sent to G League
The Trail Blazers assigned Reath to the G League's Rip City Remix on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Reath is averaging just 2.2 points in 5.6 minutes across his 23 NBA appearances this season. The 28-year-old big man should receive increased playing time while in the G League.
Dec 13, 2024
Available Friday
Reath (back) is available for Friday's matchup with the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
With Deandre Ayton (illness) and Robert Williams (reconditioning) sidelined, the Trail Blazers are thin at front court. Thus, Reath could see more minutes than usual providing depth at center. Donovan Clingan and Jabari Walker are the other available options.
Dec 13, 2024
Upgraded to questionable
Reath (back) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Reath has been upgraded from doubtful to question Friday due to a lower back strain. Even if Reath is upgraded to available, he is only averaging 6.4 minutes across 13 appearances this season.
Dec 12, 2024
Unlikely for Friday
Reath (back) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Reath was listed as doubtful for Sunday's matchup against the Lakers before being downgraded to out, so it looks as though he'll miss his second straight game. The team should have another update on his availability closer to tipoff.
Dec 8, 2024
Unavailable Sunday
Reath (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Reath is officially out after he was initially added to the team's injury report as doubtful due to back soreness. He logged 25 minutes in Portland's last matchup Friday against Utah, so it'll likely be up to Deandre Ayton and Jabari Walker to eat up extra minutes at center Sunday night.
Dec 7, 2024
Listed doubtful for Sunday
Reath is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Lakers due to back soreness.
ANALYSIS
Reath played a season-high 25 minutes in the 141-99 loss to the Jazz on Friday, posting eight points and five rebounds. The doubtful tag suggests the big man isn't likely to play Sunday, but his availability shouldn't affect many fantasy decisions. He's averaging only 6.4 minutes per game this season.
Apr 15, 2024
posts 14 points in finale
Reath finished Sunday's 121-82 loss to the Kings with 14 points (5-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one block and three steals in 24 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Reath stepped in for Deandre Ayton (back), a role he has replicated several times this season. The team is locked into a contract with Ayton, but the numbers show he was effectively a downgrade from Jusuf Nurkic. Reath is 27 years old, which puts him at a slight disadvantage considering Portland's youth rebuild. He'll likely return to the squad as the backup center, however.
Mar 29, 2024
Heads back to bench
Reath isn't in the starting five for Friday's game versus Miami, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
DeAndre Ayton's return to action will send Reath back to the bench. Reath is averaging 4.6 points and 1.2 rebounds in 11.8 minutes across his last five appearances coming off the bench.
Mar 24, 2024
Excels with 24 points in loss
Reath ended Saturday's 114-111 loss to Denver with 24 points (9-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 26 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Reath stepped into the starting lineup again amid Deandre Ayton's (elbow) absence, joining a crew of rookies in the first unit. The youthful combo almost pulled off a win against the short-handed Nuggets, and Reath was able to find space without Nikola Jokic's (hip) imposing presence. We will probably several different lineup configurations as Portland runs out the clock, and the team will likely explore Reath further as part of its future plans.
Mar 22, 2024
Joins first unit
Reath has been confirmed as the starting center for Friday night's game against the Clippers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
It was reported a few hours before tipoff that Reath was in line for the start, and it's since been made official. Reath should see plenty of opportunities to make an impact with Deandre Ayton (elbow) out of commission.
Mar 22, 2024
Likely starter vs. Clippers
Reath is expected to start at center Friday against Los Angeles, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Ayton (elbow) has been ruled out with elbow tendinitis, so it'll be Reath who's in line for the spot start Friday night. His last start dates back to March 8 against the Rockets, when he finished with 16 points, six rebounds, three assists and one block in 32 minutes.
Mar 9, 2024
Moves to bench
Reath will come off the bench for Saturday's game against the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
This is an expected move with Deandre Ayton (hand) back in the lineup. Reath was terrific in his previous five games, averaging 17.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.4 blocks and 2.4 three-pointers.
Mar 5, 2024
Hits season-best 26 points Monday
Reath produced 26 points (10-14 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 39 minutes during Monday's 119-114 loss to Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Reath delivered his best scoring output of the season in a game where the Trail Blazers went toe-to-toe against one of the best teams in the Western Conference. The big man has been trusted into a bigger-than-expected role this season due to Deandre Ayton's persistent injury issues, which ruled him out Monday due to a hand problem, and he's performed well, particularly when given enough minutes. He's averaging 13.4 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.0 blocks per game when starting, but his fantasy upside is tied to Ayton's availability. As such, it's unclear what role he'll have when the Blazers take on the Thunder on Wednesday.
Mar 2, 2024
Pops for 18 in Friday's win
Reath ended with 18 points (8-16 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals in 23 minutes during Friday's 122-92 win over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Getting the start at center in place of DeAndre Ayton (hand), Reath delivered his best scoring performance he dropped 25 points on the Kings back on Dec. 26. When Ayton is healthy, Reath typically sees minutes in the teens, giving him little fantasy appeal. Should Portland's starter in the middle miss additional time, however, his 27-year-old rookie understudy might have some DFS appeal.
Feb 16, 2024
Inks three-year deal
The Trail Blazers are converting Reath's two-way contract to a three-year, standard NBA contract Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Despite being a two-way player, Reath has spent most of 2023-24 with the Trail Blazers in the NBA. This is mostly due to injuries to Moses Brown (wrist) and Robert Williams (knee). Reath is averaging 8.9 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 17.4 minutes across his 40 appearances, including 11 starts.
Feb 13, 2024
Good to go Tuesday
Reath (knee) will be available for Tuesday's game against Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Reath missed the past two games for Portland, but he was considered probable to return prior to this update. Reath is expected to soak up the backup center minutes behind Deandre Ayton going forward.
Feb 12, 2024
Expected back for Tuesday
Reath (knee) is probable for Tuesday's game against Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Reath has missed two straight contests while recovering from a right knee injury, but he should be cleared in time to take the court Tuesday evening. The team should have another update on his availability closer to tipoff.
Feb 10, 2024
Not playing Saturday
Reath (knee) is out to face New Orleans on Saturday, Aaron J. Fentress of The Oregonian reports.
ANALYSIS
Reath has been bothered by a nagging knee problem and is set to miss a second consecutive game. His next chance to play will come against Minnesota on Wednesday, and if that's the case, he'll likely have a role off the bench with Deandre Ayton and Jarace Walker both being available.
Feb 9, 2024
Considered questionable
Reath (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Reath and Deandre Ayton (illness) are both questionable after missing Thursday's game against Detroit. Jabari Walker had a strong showing in their absence, posting 17 points, 11 rebounds, two assists, one steal and two blocks across 43 minutes.
Feb 8, 2024
Out for Thursday
Reath (knee) will not play Thursday against the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Reath will join Deandre Ayton (illness) on the sidelines, leaving Ibou Badji to fill the void at the five-spot. Badji is expected to start, and with Portland desperate for depth, he could be someone to consider as a streamer in deeper leagues. Reath's next opportunity to play will come Saturday against the Pelicans.
Feb 6, 2024
Capitalizing on limited run
Reath closed with eight points (3-3 FG, 2-2 3Pt), one rebound and one assist over 13 minutes during Sunday's 112-103 loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Reath has moved into a fringe rotation role now that Deandre Ayton is healthy, but the former has knocked down 12 of 16 shots over his last four games. Reath averaging just 14.8 minutes per game over that span removes him from fantasy radar, but he has rest-of-season streaming credibility if Ayton misses time.
Jan 22, 2024
Boosts team off bench in loss
Reath supplied 16 points (6-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one block across 22 minutes during Sunday's 134-110 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Reath led all bench players in Sunday's contest in scoring while adding a pair of threes and a quartet of assists in a blowout defeat. Reath has tallied at least 15 points in eight games this season, including in three of his last four games. Reath has recorded 15 or more points off the bench on four occasions this year.
Jan 19, 2024
Rejoins second unit
Reath will come off the bench for Friday's game against the Pacers, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.
ANALYSIS
This is an expected move with Deandre Ayton (knee) returning from a 12-game absence. Reath has fared very well as a fill-in starter this season, posting averages of 12.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.7 three-pointers.
Jan 18, 2024
Remains relevant Wednesday
Reath closed Wednesday's 105-103 victory over the Nets with 17 points (7-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds and three assists across 25 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Reath turned in another serviceable performance Wednesday, ending with 17 points in 25 minutes. Although Deandre Ayton was available to play, he was unable to make it to the game on time due to inclement weather. Given Ayton should return in Friday's game against the Pacers, Reath's run as a 12-team asset could be nearing an end.
Jan 15, 2024
Scores 17 points Sunday
Reath supplied 17 points (7-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 39 minutes during Sunday's 127-116 loss to the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Reath has started in each of Portland's last six games, and while he is not one of the team's go-to players on offense, he has found a way to score in double digits in four of those contests. Reath will probably remain a starter until Deandre Ayton (knee) is ready to return, which might happen Wednesday against the Nets.
Jan 12, 2024
Balanced outing as starter in loss
Reath posted 14 points (6-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 0-3 FT), six rebounds, one block and one steal over 24 minutes in Friday's 116-93 loss to Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Reath started in his fifth straight outing, ending as one of four Portland players with 10 or more points while hauling in a half-dozen rebounds in a losing effort. Reath has scored 14 or more points in six games this year while recorded at least six rebounds in eight contests.
Jan 12, 2024
Comes close to double-double
Reath closed Thursday's 139-77 loss to the Thunder with eight points (3-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block across 24 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Reath started for the fourth game in a row and finished just two points and three rebounds away from a double-double, though, in reality, he would've probably posted those numbers if the game hadn't been decided by the end of the second quarter. Reath has been serviceable in a starting role, but he should return to his regular bench spot if Deandre Ayton (knee) returns Friday to face the Timberwolves.
Jan 7, 2024
Records first double-double in win
Reath amassed 15 points (5-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal across 41 minutes during Sunday's 134-127 overtime win over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Reath led all players in Sunday's contest in rebounds while adding a trio of blocks and ending as one of six Trail Blazers with a double-digit point total in his first double-double of the season. Reath hauled in 10 or more rebounds for the first time this year, also setting a season high in blocks. Reath has finished with at least 15 points and seven rebounds in two straight contests.
Jan 6, 2024
Solid performance in start
Reath supplied 16 points (7-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and two assists in 27 minutes during Friday's 139-103 loss to Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Reath was swapped into the starting lineup for Ibou Badji for Friday's game. It was a blowout loss for the Trail Blazers, but Reath seven rebounds was tied for most on the team with Toumani Camara. Reath has played at least 27 minutes in two of his last three games and has carved a larger role for himself in Portland's rotation.
Jan 5, 2024
Starting Friday
Reath is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Mavericks, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official sitereports.
ANALYSIS
Ibou Badji will move to the bench with Reath joining the first unit. Reath has fared well in limited minutes this season, but he was ejected after just six minutes in Wednesday's game versus Dallas after being assessed a Flagrant 2 foul.
Jan 3, 2024
Ejected Wednesday
Reath was ejected from Wednesday's game against the Mavericks after being assessed a flagrant two foul, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports. He'll finish with two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and an assist over six minutes.
ANALYSIS
Reath never really got into a rhythm Wednesday, picking up four fouls in six minutes, including the offensive foul that resulted in a flagrant two. With Reath removed from the contest, Ibou Badji remains the Trail Blazers' lone traditional center, meaning Jabari Walker could be forced to see some action at the five Wednesday. Reath should be back in action for Friday's rematch with Dallas.
Jan 3, 2024
Good to go
Reath (back) will play in Wednesday's game against the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
After missing three straight contests with lower back soreness, Reath will make his return to the hardwood Wednesday. He'll likely step into the starting center spot with Deandre Ayton (knee) and Moses Brown (wrist) sidelined.
Jan 2, 2024
Upgraded to questionable
Reath (back) has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against Dallas, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Reath is amid a three-game absence due to lower back soreness. This absence comes on the heels of the 27-year-old rookie booming for 25 points Dec. 26 against Sacramento. For the season, Reath is connecting on 35.9 of 3.9 threes per game while averaging 20.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.8 blocks per-36 minutes.
Jan 1, 2024
Confirmed out
Reath (back) won't play Monday against the Suns, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Reath was added to the injury report as doubtful, so this update isn't a real surprise. His next opportunity to return will arrive Wednesday in Dallas.
Dec 31, 2023
Unlikely to play
Reath (back) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Reath is expected to miss a third straight game for Portland. Deandre Ayton (knee) will miss a fourth straight game, so the Trail Blazers will rely on a combination of Jabari Walker, Ibou Badji and Moses Brown at center.
Dec 29, 2023
Another absence coming
Reath (back) won't play in Friday's game versus the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Reath will miss his second straight game Friday while dealing with lower back soreness. His next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Phoenix.
Dec 28, 2023
Late scratch Thursday
Reath is a late scratch for Thursday's game against the Spurs due to lower back soreness.
ANALYSIS
This is a tough blow for Portland, as they are again without Deandre Ayton (knee). Reath is coming off the best performance of his career on Tuesday, as he erupted for 25 points (9-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, one block and one steal in 32 minutes. Moses Brown will start at center and is likely looking at a significant workload.
Dec 27, 2023
Scores career-high 25 points
Reath posted 25 points (9-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, one block and one steal in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 130-113 win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
After early struggles from Moses Brown, Reath stepped in for Deandre Ayton (knee) and had a huge day, coming close to the first double-double of his pro career. Although Ayton is a huge key to Portand's potential, Portland looked unbeatable in their eighth win with Reath under the basket.
Dec 14, 2023
Moves to bench
Reath will come off the bench for Thursday's game against Utah, Jazz's radio announcer David Locke reports.
ANALYSIS
This is an expected move for Portland, as Deandre Ayton is starting Thursday after missing the past three games with a knee injury. Reath will likely see minutes in the teens as Ayton's primary backup.
Dec 6, 2023
Making another start
Reath will enter the first unit for Wednesday's game against the Warriors, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Reath will make his second start of the 2023-24 campaign with DeAndre Ayton (knee) sidelined. In his only other start this season, Reath logged eight points, four rebounds, an assist and a block across 20 minutes.
Dec 1, 2023
Pops for 13 in Thursday's win
Reath provided 13 points (4-5 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 18 minutes during Thursday's 103-95 win over the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old rookie seems to enjoy playing against Cleveland -- the two biggest scoring performances of his NBA career have come versus the Cavs, as he dropped 16 points on them back on Nov. 15. Reath has seen consistent minutes in the Blazers' frontcourt rotation since Robert Williams (knee) was lost for the season, but as yet he hasn't supplied much fantasy value beyond his three-point shooting.
Nov 22, 2023
Starting with Ayton scratched
Reath will start Wednesday's game against the Jazz, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Deandre Ayton was a late scratch Wednesday due to back soreness, which will allow Reath to make his first career start. OVer six appearances, Reath has averaged 6.8 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists across 13.0 minutes.
Nov 16, 2023
Excels from bench with 16 points
Reath chipped in 16 points (6-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and three assists over 20 minutes during Wednesday's 109-95 loss to Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
The two-way player out of LSU had a significant impact in the loss, as Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen were having their way with Deandre Ayton throughout the contest. He made the most of his 20 minutes of court time and had zero hesitation in taking the open shot. The 6-11 Aussie also showcased his floor-stretching capability with two three-pointers. Although one should temper expectations for Reach, his story is worth monitoring as the season progresses.
Nov 15, 2023
Claims rotation spot
Reath was held scoreless (0-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt) and contributed one rebound in Tuesday's 115-99 loss to the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Reath, one of Portland's three two-way players, has been included in the rotation as the backup center to Deandre Ayton in the last two games, after having not appeared in any of the team's first eight contests of the season. The 27-year-old drilled three triples en route to an 11-point performance in 14 minutes against the Lakers on Tuesday, but he took a big step backward Tuesday. With Robert Williams (knee) out for the season, Reath has a chance to capture a permanent spot on the second unit, but the Trail Blazers likely won't hesitate to move on if he fails to produce in his subsequent opportunities.
Oct 29, 2023
Inactive Sunday
Reath (two-way designation) is out Sunday versus Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
Reath is not on Portland's 15-man roster as a two-way signee. He's a candidate to be activated if the Trail Blazers suffer injuries in the frontcourt.
Oct 23, 2023
Inks two-way deal
Reath signed a two-way contract with the Trail Blazers on Monday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Reath was let go by Portland on Saturday but will quickly rejoin the team on a deal that will allow him to easily move between the G League and parent club. He hasn't yet appeared in a regular-season game in the NBA but could have a chance to carve out some minutes for the rebuilding Trail Blazers this year.

Sent to waivers
Reath was waived by Portland on Saturday, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Reath was given a chance to start in his squad's final preseason contest, and he fared well over 23 minutes of action (13 points, five rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal). However, it wasn't enough to secure a roster spot. Reath will be forced to look for work elsewhere ahead of the 2023-24 campaign.

Drops 13 points in start
Reath posted 13 points (5-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds and a steal across 16 minutes in Monday's 117-106 loss to the Suns.
ANALYSIS
The LSU product has yet to see time in an NBA regular-season game, but he gained an invite via Portland to the Summer League after he impressed scouts with his play for Australia during the FIBA World Cup. Reath has found a perfect spot for a chance in the NBA, as the Trail Blazers are in the midst of a rebuild and need help at multiple positions. The 6-11 big man will be a great addition to the team's interior if they grant him a roster spot.

Impresses in preseason opener
Reath played 17 minutes and tallied 12 points (4-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one blocked shot in a 106-66 exhibition win against New Zealand on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Reath is trying to build a case for a bench role upon the start of the regular season, and he certainly made a strong impression in Portland's exhibition opener. The big man was one of three players on the squad to record double-digit points, and he finished without a turnover in 17 minutes. Reath also looked good earlier this summer with Portland's Summer League team, averaging 13.0 points, 7.4 boards, 1.4 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.6 blocks over 19.5 minutes across five contests while shooting 47.7 percent from the field -- including 37.5 percent from beyond the arc -- and 83.3 percent from the charity stripe.
