Rayan Rupert 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 11, 2025
Recalled to NBA
Rupert notched 22 points (8-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block in 37 minutes of Tuesday's 133-122 G League win over the Salt Lake Stars. Portland recalled him back to the NBA on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Rupert hasn't seen much action at the NBA level this season. Through 17 NBA appearances, he's averaging a mere 7.7 minutes per contest.
Nov 24, 2025
Scores in double digits
Rupert recorded 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt), five rebounds and one steal in 16 minutes during Sunday's 122-95 loss to Oklahoma City.
ANALYSIS
The Trail Blazers struggled on offense throughout the game, but Rupert had a solid performance after scoring in double digits for the first time this season. He enjoyed an uptick in minutes due to the blowout nature of this game, but fantasy managers need to be cautious with what he might bring to the table. He's buried on the depth chart and at the end of the bench, so he's not expected to play regularly going forward. After all, this was his first outing of the season in which he played 10 or more minutes.
Nov 14, 2025
Rare appearance in loss
Rupert had one point (1-2 FT) in five minutes during Friday's 140-116 loss to Houston.
ANALYSIS
Rupert appeared for just the sixth time this season, continuing what has been a quiet start to the campaign. He has played double-digit minutes only once, and figures to be utilized as nothing more than a depth piece moving forward.
Jul 19, 2025
Scores 14 in SL finale
Rupert contributed 14 points (6-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt), eight rebounds and four assists across 25 minutes in Saturday's 111-87 Summer League loss to the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Rupert wrapped up a strong Summer League showing with a more modest outing Saturday, though his 14 points still led the team. The guard appeared in 52 regular-season games for the Trail Blazers during the 2024-25 campaign, averaging 3.0 points and 1.3 rebounds on 40.8 percent shooting in 8.8 minutes per game. His best performance came in the season finale against the Lakers on April 13, when he recorded a double-double.
Jul 16, 2025
Game-high 24 points in SL win
Rupert recorded 24 points (9-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two steals and one assist across 28 minutes in Tuesday's 93-87 Summer League win over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Rupert torched the nets Tuesday, logging game highs in both points and three-pointers. The 21-year-old bounced back from a three-point performance during Saturday's loss to the Grizzlies, when he shot 1-for-4 from the field in 25 minutes. Rupert has now posted at least 23 points in two of his three Summer League appearances.
Jul 12, 2025
Goes off in 2025 SL debut
Rupert generated 23 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 11-11 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and two steals over 23 minutes of Friday's 106-73 Summer League win over the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Rupert was unstoppable in Friday's rout of Golden State, falling one rebound shy of a double-double while logging a game-high 23 points. Rupert appeared in 52 regular-season games with the Trail Blazers last season and will be with the team again in 2025-26 after Portland picked up his team option.
Jun 28, 2025
Team option picked up
The Trail Blazers exercised their $2.22 million team option in Rupert's contract Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Rupert will return to Portland for a third season after appearing in a career-high 52 regular-season games in 2024-25. The 21-year-old averaged 3.0 points and 1.3 rebounds in 8.8 minutes per contest last season.
Apr 14, 2025
Logs first career double-double
Rupert posted 13 points (5-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 28 minutes during Sunday's 109-81 win over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Rupert recorded his first career double-double in the regular-season finale. The second-year guard will be a restricted free agent ahead of the 2025-26 season, and he finished the 2024-25 campaign with averages of 3.0 points, 1.3 rebounds, 0.5 assists and 0.3 steals across only 8.8 minutes per game in 52 regular-season appearances.
Apr 12, 2025
Logs 155 points from bench
Rupert posted 15 points (6-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist over 25 minutes during Friday's 103-86 loss to Golden State.
ANALYSIS
Rupert followed up a decent 19-point effort in Wednesday's overtime loss with another encouraging total. Rupert's contributions were scant this season, but he could see more minutes next season if the Trail Blazers make significant moves during the break.
Apr 10, 2025
Puts up season-high scoring mark
Rupert logged 19 points (7-17 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 133-126 overtime loss to Utah.
ANALYSIS
Rupert wasn't particularly efficient, as he attempted 17 shots to score 19 points, but this was still a season-high scoring mark for the second-year guard out of France. This was only the second time Rupert had scored in double digits this season, and while an uptick in minutes could be an option ahead of the Blazers' final two games of the regular season, he's probably suited to be a streaming option in most formats due to the nature of his bench role.

ANALYSIS
Rupert will rejoin the parent club ahead of Tuesday's game against the Bucks. However, the 20-year-old shouldn't see significant playing time, as he has averaged only 2.8 minutes per game in his last five outings.
Nov 2, 2024
Big night from downtown
Rupert recorded 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt), two rebounds, one block and one steal across 23 minutes off the bench during Friday's 137-114 loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
The 2023 second-round pick saw his biggest workload of the season as coach Chauncey Billups stuck with the hot hand from beyond the arc. Rupert had only 17 points combined in his four prior appearances, but he could see an uptick in minutes in the short term if Anfernee Simons (arm) is forced to miss any time after leaving Friday's contest midway through the fourth quarter after a hard fall following a dunk attempt.
Mar 23, 2024
Starting against Denver
Rupert is in the starting lineup to face the Nuggets on Saturday, Aaron J. Fentress of The Oregonian reports.
ANALYSIS
Rupert will get the starting nod with Anfernee Simons (knee) sidelined. This will be Rupert's first start of the campaign, and he'll join Scoot Henderson, Toumani Camara, Kris Murray and Duop Reath in the starting unit.
Mar 16, 2024
Cleared to play Satruday
Rupert (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Although Rupert will be available, he's not a lock to see the floor with both Anfernee Simons and Scoot Henderson good to go for Saturday,
Mar 15, 2024
Listed probable for Saturday
Rupert is probable for Saturday's game against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Rupert continues to battle a minor right ankle sprain. Despite being cleared for action, Rupert hasn't appeared in either of Portland's last two games.
Mar 14, 2024
Available for Thursday
Rupert (ankle) is available for Thursday's game against New York.
ANALYSIS
This is good news for Portland, as they will be without Anfernee Simons (knee) on Thursday. Through seven March appearances, Rupert has averaged 3.3 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 13.3 minutes.
Mar 14, 2024
Added to injury report
Rupert is probable for Thursday's game against New York due to right ankle soreness.
ANALYSIS
Rupert was dealing with right ankle soreness prior to Wednesday's victory over Atlanta, but he did not take the court despite being cleared for action. The rookie appears firmly on track to be activated, but there is no guarantee he'll feature in Portland's rotation Thursday, even with Jerami Grant (hamstring) and Jabari Walker (hip) inactive.
Mar 13, 2024
Gets green light
Rupert (ankle) will play in Wednesday's game against Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Rupert was initially deemed questionable for the contest but will suit up after dealing with right ankle soreness. With the Trail Blazers at full health on the wing, Rupert will likely be toward the back end of the rotation against the Hawks.
Mar 12, 2024
Iffy with ankle soreness
Rupert is questionable for Wednesday's game versus Atlanta with right ankle soreness.
ANALYSIS
Rupert played just two minutes in his last taste of action, so his status is unlikely to impact the rotation much.
Mar 2, 2024
Logs garbage-time run Friday
Rupert (ankle) generated five points (1-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists across seven minutes Friday in the Trail Blazers' 122-92 win over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Though he made his first appearance for the Trail Blazers since Jan. 29, Rupert wasn't a part of head coach Chauncey Billups' rotation, as he didn't check into the game until Portland held a 32-point lead with 7:14 remaining in the fourth quarter. Rupert, who recently missed time a right ankle sprain, could soon head to the G League's Rip City Remix to get more extended playing time.
Feb 27, 2024
Available to play
Rupert (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game versus Miami.
ANALYSIS
Rupert has yet to see the floor in February, and he's been held to single-digit minutes in his last three appearances.
Feb 26, 2024
Probable for Tuesday
Rupert (ankle) is expected to play Tuesday against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Rupert has missed his team's last three games while dealing with a right ankle sprain, but he's on track to return Tuesday evening. He hasn't been much of a factor for the Blazers so far this season, averaging 2.6 points and 1.3 rebounds in 7.4 minutes (16 appearances). Expect confirmation on Rupert's availability closer to tipoff.
Feb 24, 2024
Out for Sunday

Feb 14, 2024
Inactive Thursday
Rupert won't play in Thursday's game against the Timberwolves due to a sprained right ankle.
ANALYSIS
Rupert will be unable to suit up for the Trail Blazers' final game before the All-Star break. Considering he's suited up in just three of Portland's last 14 games, his absence should have minimal impact on the team's rotation
Feb 14, 2024
Recalled to NBA
Portland recalled Rupert from the G League's Rip City Remix on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Rupert hasn't appeared in an NBA contest since Jan. 29 and has made just three appearances for Portland since Jan. 14. Even if he's available for Thursday's matchup versus Minnesota, which is the Trail Blazers' final contest before the All-Star break, Rupert's presence shouldn't impact fantasy hoops.
Feb 4, 2024
Recalled to Portland
Portland recalled Rupert from the G League's Rip City Remix on Saturday.

Dec 22, 2023
Recalled to NBA club

ANALYSIS
Rupert has been recalled following the G League's Winter Showcase. He's been solid in the G League this season, averaging 13.7 points while shooting 44.3 percent from deep across 15 appearances, but he was a non-factor during the Showcase and is unlikely to play meaningful minutes with the NBA club.

ANALYSIS
Rupert, Moses Brown and Kris Murray were all sent back to the NBA club after playing in Rip City's 107-103 win over Ontario on Monday. They'll all be available for Portland's matchup in Phoenix on Tuesday, but it's unlikely they'll play significant minutes, barring a blowout.

Nov 12, 2023
Recalled by Blazers

ANALYSIS

Jul 15, 2023
Inks deal with Portland
Rupert signed a three-year contract with the Trail Blazers on July 4. The deal includes a $2.22 million team option for the 2025-26 season.
ANALYSIS
The French-born Rupert, who turned 19 years old May 31 before being selected with the 43rd overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft a month later, will be one of the league's youngest players in 2023-24. Since coming to terms with Portland on a contract, the 6-foot-6 wing has appeared in four games in the Las Vegas Summer League, averaging 3.0 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 16.5 minutes. Rupert isn't expected to be a part of the Trail Blazers' regular rotation to begin the season.
