Toumani Camara Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Trail Blazers vs Pelicans game on Thursday with our National Basketball Association injury report.Dec 7, 2025
Ties season high in steals
Camara finished with 13 points (5-13 FG, 3-10 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and three steals across 33 minutes during Sunday's 119-96 loss to Memphis.
ANALYSIS
It wasn't the most efficient shooting display from Camara, who did tie a season high in steals Sunday. Portland has plenty of usage open with Jrue Holiday (calf) and Scoot Henderson (hamstring) sidelined, and Camara is playing a significant role on both ends of the floor. Over his last nine outings, the forward has averaged 13.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.6 assist, 1.0 steals and 2.9 three-pointers in 32.0 minutes per game.
Dec 2, 2025
Drains six triples in loss
Camara logged 21 points (7-12 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 1-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block over 36 minutes during the Trail Blazers' 121-118 loss to the Raptors on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
After draining five three-pointers during Sunday's loss to the Thunder, Camara followed that up with a season-high six triples Tuesday, though he struggled at the free throw line as the Trail Blazers collectively went 21-of-32 from the charity stripe. Camara has gone 11-for-20 from deep over his last two games, which is in stark contrast to his 30.8 percent clip from three (on 6.8 3PA/G) through the first 19 games of the regular season. He has posted double-digit points in six of his last seven games, and over that span he has averaged 14.4 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.9 blocks and 3.1 threes over 33.3 minutes per game.
Dec 1, 2025
Comes close to double-double
Camara racked up 19 points (5-12 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds and four assists in 38 minutes during Sunday's 123-115 loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Camara was locked in from beyond the arc, as he drained a season-high five threes, but he missed all of his seven two-point attempts. The versatile forward has been playing well lately and has scored in double digits in all but one of his previous six outings, averaging 13.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists and a combined 1.8 steals-plus-blocks per game in that span.
Nov 25, 2025
Blocks two shots in win
Camara closed Monday's 115-103 win over the Bucks with 13 points (5-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 32 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Camara has now recorded a block in four straight contests, and was able to bounce back from Sunday's four-point showing against Oklahoma City with three triples and 13 points. Camara averages 12.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.6 blocks this season, and his versatility on both ends of the floor makes him a reliable fantasy asset moving forward.
Nov 20, 2025
Scores 14 in loss
Camara contributed 14 points (6-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 122-121 loss to Chicago.
ANALYSIS
Camara logged just his second game of the season where he recorded a steal and a block, but he had yet another subpar shooting performance bringing his season shooting splits to 39.6 percent from the field and 30.1 percent from three. Through 15 games, Camara is averaging 12.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.1 steals, 0.5 blocks and 2.1 threes.
Nov 17, 2025
Double-doubles in loss
Camara totaled 11 points (5-13 FG, 1-7 3Pt), 10 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 41 minutes during Sunday's 138-133 overtime loss to Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Camara posted his first double-double of the season and logged a season-high 41 minutes Sunday. While Camara has been active offensively, averaging 13.6 points in his last nine games, he has not been efficient with his opportunities, averaging just 42.1 percent from the field and 32.4 percent from three in that span.
Nov 11, 2025
Inefficient output in loss
Camara amassed eight points (3-9 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 34 minutes during Monday's 115-112 loss to the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Camara has not been efficient with the ball recently, shooting 40 percent from the field, 30 percent from three and 55.6 percent from the free-throw line in his last five games. In those games, he averages 13.0 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.8 blocks and 2.4 threes made, so the production is there, but he could be posting higher totals if he was able to shoot at a more efficient rate.
Nov 4, 2025
Solid production in loss
Camara supplied 14 points (5-13 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals over 34 minutes during Monday's 123-115 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Camara struggled with efficiency from deep, hitting only three of a game-high 11 three-point attempts, but still managed to piece together a productive all-around performance in the loss. The defensive-minded forward has bounced back nicely after a pair of tough outings on Oct. 26 and Oct. 27, averaging 15.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.0 steals over his past three games. While he isn't the centerpiece of the offense, Camara will continue to get scoring chances and has shown he can impact games in multiple ways when his shot isn't falling.
Oct 30, 2025
Bounces back in Wednesday's win
Camara posted 17 points (6-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, five assists and two steals across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 136-134 win over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
After managing just nine total points in his prior two games, Camara got more involved on the offensive end, with his 14 FGs attempts and eight three-point attempts both being season highs in the early going. Through five games, the third-year forward is averaging 11.0 points, 5.2 boards, 3.8 assists, 1.6 threes and 1.2 steals.
Oct 23, 2025
Nears double-double in loss
Camara provided 10 points (3-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds and five assists across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 118-114 loss to the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Camara came one rebound shy of a double-double, as he had a decent performance to start the 2025-26 campaign. There's a chance he'll be a solid contributor this season, making him an intriguing option from a fantasy perspective.
Oct 21, 2025
Ready to go for season opener
Camara (knee) will be available and starting in Wednesday's season opener against Minnesota, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.
ANALYSIS
After participating in practice Monday, Camara is all set to make his season debut Wednesday. The forward has been limited by the knee soreness this preseason, but it's unlikely he'll face any noticeable restrictions against the Timberwolves. Camara averaged 11.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.5 steals in 78 regular-season games in 2024-25.
Oct 20, 2025
Practicing Monday
Camara (knee) practiced fully Monday, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.
ANALYSIS
Camara has been limited by the knee soreness this preseason, but this is certainly an encouraging sign. The forward is trending in the right direction for Wednesday's season opener against Minnesota.
Oct 19, 2025
Inks four-year extension
Camara (knee) signed a four-year, $82 million contract extension with the Trail Blazers on Sunday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Camara gets a long-term deal to stay with the team that drafted him 52nd overall in the 2023 NBA Draft. The 25-year-old pro has become a key two-way piece for Portland and is coming off a season in which he averaged 11.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.5 steals in 32.7 minutes per game across 78 appearances.
Oct 16, 2025
Out Thursday
Camara (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's preseason game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Camara will miss his second straight preseason game due to knee soreness. The 25-year-old swingman's status will be worth monitoring ahead of the club's regular-season opener against the Timberwolves on Wednesday.
Oct 14, 2025
Won't play Tuesday
Camara (knee) has been ruled out of Tuesday's preseason game against the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Camara continues to deal with knee soreness, which kept him off the practice floor Monday. The next opportunity for him to play will be Thursday's preseason finale against the Jazz.
Oct 13, 2025
Nursing knee soreness
Camara didn't practice Monday due to knee soreness, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.
ANALYSIS
Camara is now considered questionable for Tuesday's preseason game against the Warriors. Even if he sits out, the issue should not impact the forward's availability for the Oct. 22 season opener against the Timberwolves.
Oct 9, 2025
Posts 14 points with first unit
Camara logged 14 points (5-13 FG, 0-2 FT, 4-9 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists, two blocked shots and a steal in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 129-123 preseason loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Camara cemented his starting role last season and didn't relinquish it following Jerami Grant's return from injury. The Trail Blazers are focused on a competitive youth-based rebuild, which certainly works in Camara's favor. The trio of Camara, Grant and Deni Avdija provides an embarrassment of riches for Chauncey Billups to choose from, so some preseason tinkering with the first unit should be expected.
Apr 14, 2025
Closes out year with strong showing
Camara closed Sunday's 109-81 win over the Lakers with 14 points (5-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt), six rebounds and four assists across 22 minutes.
ANALYSIS
It would be a stretch to say Camara was the best player for the Trail Blazers in 2024-25, but there's no question he was extremely consistent while adjusting to life as a starter in his second year in the league. He ended the campaign scoring in double digits in 16 of his 20 appearances since the beginning of March, but he also contributed regularly in other categories. The second-year forward improved across the board compared to his rookie year and finished his sophomore season with averages of 11.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.6 blocks across 78 starts.
Apr 10, 2025
Scores 16 points in OT loss
Camara logged 16 points (6-18 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 133-126 overtime loss to the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Camara needed 18 shots to score 16 points and delivered a subpar shooting performance, making just 33.3 percent of his field goals and 25 percent of his three-pointers. The second-year forward has been one of the most consistent players for Portland this season, and he's established himself as a starter in his sophomore season. He's also ending the season on a solid note with averages of 14.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.6 steals per game over his previous 10 appearances.
Apr 7, 2025
Team-high 23 points in return
Camara totaled 23 points (8-16 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one block across 34 minutes during Sunday's 120-109 victory over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Camara returned from a one-game absence, leading the way with 23 points, just one point shy of his season best. While the Trail Blazers have gone through another underwhelming season, Camara has been arguably their best and most consistent player. He has emerged as one of the best wing defenders in the league, while he has been able to take his scoring to another level. Through 75 games, he has averaged 11.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.7 three-pointers in 32.8 minutes per game.
Apr 6, 2025
Getting green light Sunday
Camara (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Camara will shake off a questionable tag Sunday due to the left ankle injury that kept him out of Friday's loss to the Bulls. Over his last five outings, the 24-year-old forward has averaged 11.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.8 assists across 31.8 minutes per contest.
Apr 5, 2025
Iffy for Sunday
Camara (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Camara could be in danger of missing a second straight game due to a left ankle injury. If that's the case, Matisse Thybulle and Kris Murray would be in line to see more minutes in the wings, with Thybulle potentially earning another start. Camara is averaging 12.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.7 blocks per game since the beginning of March.
Apr 4, 2025
Ruled out Friday
Camara (ankle) is out for Friday's game against the Bulls, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Camara has been one of the most consistent players for the Trail Blazers this season, but he'll miss this contest due to a left ankle injury sustained Thursday against Toronto. Matisse Thybulle and Kris Murray are candidates to receive increased playing time in Camara's place, and the second-year forward will aim to return against the Spurs on Sunday.
Apr 4, 2025
Iffy against Chicago
Camara (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Camara is in danger of missing Friday's contest after exiting the first leg of Portland's back-to-back early due to a left ankle injury. If Camara is unable to suit up against Chicago, Matisse Thybulle and Kris Murray are candidates to receive increased playing time.
Apr 3, 2025
Shut down with ankle injury
Camara won't return to Thursday's game against the Raptors due to a left ankle injury.
ANALYSIS
Camara had a tough night before exiting, as he'll finish the matchup with five points (2-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists over 25 minutes. Shaedon Sharpe and Dalano Banton are next in line for minutes with Camara sidelined.
Mar 30, 2025
Leads from three in defeat
Camara finished with 16 points (6-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt), eight rebounds, four assists and one steal over 39 minutes in Sunday's 110-93 loss to Portland.
ANALYSIS
Camara led the way from three for Portland in Sunday's contest, connecting on a team-best mark from deep while finishing second on the team in rebounds and as one of four players with 15 or more points. Camara has connected on four or more threes in 10 outings, doing so in two of his last four appearances. He has now tallied at least 15 points and eight boards on four occasions.
Mar 28, 2025
Records four steals
Camara ended Thursday's 128-107 loss to the Kings with six points (2-8 FG, 2-8 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist, one block and four steals in 34 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Camara, who shook off a questionable tag due to a foot issue for this contest, made up for a quiet night on offense by racking up four steals. This ended up being his sixth game of the campaign with at least four steals. Camara remains on pace for a ninth-round valuation in nine-category formats through 71 regular-season appearances.
Mar 27, 2025
Good to go Thursday
Camara (foot) is available for Thursday's game against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Camara will shake off a questionable tag due to left foot soreness and suit up Thursday. The 24-year-old has made 12 appearances in March, averaging 13.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.6 steals across 34.6 minutes per contest.
Mar 26, 2025
Snares questionable tag
Camara is questionable for Thursday's game against the Kings due to left foot soreness.
ANALYSIS
Camara pops up on the injury report with discomfort in his left foot. If he winds up missing Thursday's game, look for Shaedon Sharpe and Dalano Banton to pick up more minutes.
Mar 24, 2025
Posts well-rounded line
Camara accumulated 19 points (7-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals over 36 minutes during Sunday's 129-116 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
This game was another good example of Camara's upside in nine-category formats with his ability to contribute across the board. Across 69 regular-season games, Camara is on pace to return top-100 value with averages of 11.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.5 steals, 0.7 blocks and 1.6 three-pointers.
Mar 19, 2025
Will play Wednesday
Camara (calf) is available for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
After missing Monday's game against the Wizards with a calf injury, Camara will return Wednesday and likely send Kris Murray to the bench. Over eight games in March, Camara has averaged 12.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.9 blocks in 35.2 minutes.
Mar 18, 2025
Iffy against Memphis
Camara (calf) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Grizzlies, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.
ANALYSIS
Camara is in danger of missing his second straight contest Wednesday due to right calf soreness. If Camara is ultimately downgraded to out, Kris Murray could draw another start.
Mar 17, 2025
Won't play Monday
Camara (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Washington.
ANALYSIS
Camara will miss his first game since Jan. 23 due to right calf soreness. His next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against Memphis. Scoot Henderson, Kris Murray and Matisse Thybulle are candidates for an uptick in playing time due to Camara being sidelined.
Mar 17, 2025
Dealing with calf soreness
Camara is questionable for Monday's game against the Wizards due to right calf soreness.
ANALYSIS
Camara is in danger of missing his first game since Jan. 21. Since the All-Star break (13 games), Camara has averaged 13.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.8 blocks in 34.6 minutes per game. If he's sidelined, Scoot Henderson, Kris Murray, Dalano Banton and Matisse Thybulle would be candidates for increased roles.
Mar 17, 2025
Fills stat sheet Sunday
Camara had 21 points (8-16 FG, 5-10 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals across 35 minutes during Sunday's 105-102 victory over the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Camara had a well-rounded stat line and finished with at least two tallies in each of the five major categories while also shooting an efficient touch from three-point range. That two-way impact has been key for Camara, and even though he doesn't hover around the 20-point mark often, he remains a valuable fantasy alternative due to his all-around production. He's averaging 12.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists and a combined 2.3 steals-plus-blocks over his last 10 outings.
Mar 8, 2025
Grabs 10 rebounds in loss
Camara produced seven points (2-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 34 minutes during Friday's 107-89 loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Camara has muscled his way into an everyday role with the Trail Blazers, but his overall volatility makes him a risky fantasy proposition. He has double-double potential when he makes enough shot attempts, but he's occasionally the odd man out with playmakers like Anfernee Simons, Shaedon Sharpe and Deni Avdija (quad) around him. Avdija's absence offered him additional opportunity at the wing during Saturday's loss, which is the likely reason for the increased rebound total.
Mar 4, 2025
Nearly double-doubles
Camara chipped in 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt), nine rebounds and one assist in 33 minutes during Monday's 119-102 win over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Camara continues to thrive for the shorthanded Trail Blazers, and his fantasy value is soaring. Over his last 10 games, Camara has produced top-30 value in nine-category formats, averaging 13.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 2.1 steals, 0.7 blocks and 1.8 three-pointers in 34.8 minutes per contest.
Feb 27, 2025
Scores 11 points in win
Camara chipped in 11 points (4-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists and three steals over 32 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 129-121 win over Washington.
ANALYSIS
Shaedon Sharpe took over and had a career-best performance in this win over the Wizards, but Camara posted a decent line considering the limited touches he received on offense. The second-year forward has found a way to remain consistent every time he steps on the court and has scored in double digits in four of his last five appearances. He's averaging 12.5 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 2.1 steals per game in 11 outings this month.
Feb 21, 2025
Posts 19 points in loss
Camara amassed 19 points (7-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and five steals over 38 minutes during Thursday's 110-102 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Despite some modest single-digit scoring results, Camara's become a more consistent source of production for the Trail Blazers over the past two months, and his steady rebounding has also been a great asset to the team. The Dayton product is currently averaging 10.3 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.5 steals during his second season with Portland.
Feb 14, 2025
Eight points in Rising Stars semis
Camara ended with eight points (2-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds and one block in 12 minutes during Team M's 40-39 loss to Team G League in Friday's Rising Stars semifinals.
ANALYSIS
Camara tallied the second-highest scoring mark on the squad, but Team G League's Leonard Miller went for a team-high 14 points to help put Team M away Friday. Camara has emerged as a key contributor with the Trail Blazers in his second season, starting in each of his 53 appearances. The 2023 second-rounder should remain a stable member of Portland's rotation down the stretch of the campaign, and he's averaging 10.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.4 steals, 0.6 blocks and 1.5 three-pointers in 32.3 minutes.
Feb 7, 2025
Dominates glass Thursday
Camara finished Thursday's 108-102 win over the Kings with four points (2-13 FG, 0-4 3Pt), 14 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes.
ANALYSIS
The second-year wing struggled to find his shot, but Camara's 14 boards were a new career high. It's the third time during the Blazers' current six-game win streak that the 2023 second-round pick has pulled down double-digit rebounds, and over that stretch Camara is averaging 11.2 points, 8.7 boards, 1.8 assists, 1.3 threes, 1.2 steals and 0.8 blocks while shooting 53.1 percent from the floor and 40.0 percent (8-for-20) from long distance.
Feb 2, 2025
Double-doubles in victory
Camara ended Saturday's 127-108 win over Phoenix with 18 points (7-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds and four steals over 36 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Camara secured his second double-double of the season while also tying his season-high mark in steals. The second-year pro has taken a significant step forward on both ends of the floor in the 2024-25 campaign, during which he has amassed 20 outings with multiple steals. Over his last five appearances, Camara has averaged 13.6 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.2 steals while shooting 61.9 percent from the field in 36.0 minutes per game.
Jan 26, 2025
Perfect from deep in strong showing
Camara chipped in 24 points (8-11 FG, 5-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds and four assists over 35 minutes during Sunday's 118-108 loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Camara had one of his best performances of the season Sunday, finishing perfect from three while leading all Portland starters in rebounds in a near double-double performance. Camara set a new season high in scoring, posting 20 or more points in two contests. He matched a season-best mark in threes made, a total he also recorded Dec. 1 against Dallas.
Jan 24, 2025
Good to go Friday
Camara is available and in the starting lineup for Friday's game versus the Hornets, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Camara has been upgraded from probable to available Friday despite dealing with an illness. Camara is averaging 11.5 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.0 blocks in 32.5 minutes across his last 10 outings.
Jan 24, 2025
Expected to play Friday
Camara is listed as probable for Friday's game versus the Hornets due to an illness.
ANALYSIS
Camara is expected to play in his second straight contest Friday despite dealing with an illness. The 24-year-old forward will likely draw his 43rd start of the season if he's upgraded to available.
Jan 23, 2025
Balanced outing in return to lineup
Camara finished Thursday's 101-79 win over Orlando with 16 points (6-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals across 34 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Camara returned Thursday after missing Tuesday's game due to an illness, putting forth a balanced performance that included finishing second on the team in scoring, rebounds, blocks and steals in a team-high-tying minute total. Camara recorded north of 15 points for the eighth time this season, adding five or more boards in seven of those contests. He has now posted at least two steals and two blocks in the same game for the second time.
Jan 23, 2025
Available to play Thursday
Camara (illness) is available for Thursday's game against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Camara missed Tuesday's win over the Heat with an illness, but he returns after a one-game absence. The former Dayton standout has started in each of his 41 appearances, averaging 9.5 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.4 steals per contest.
Jan 22, 2025
Questionable with illness
Camara (illness) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
After missing Tuesday's win over the Heat with an illness, Camara's game status against Orlando remains uncertain. Given the nature of Camara's ailment, the team will likely wait until closer to Thursday's tipoff to update his designation. If the 24-year-old is unavailable for Portland, the Blazers would figure to lean on Deni Avdija from the first unit and give Scoot Henderson extra playing time.
Jan 21, 2025
Ruled out Tuesday
Camara (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Camara has been battling an illness and won't be able to play Tuesday in Miami. Deni Avdija could see more time on the floor, as the 24-year-old will miss a game for only the second time this season for the Trail Blazers.
Jan 21, 2025
Late addition to injury report
Camara is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game versus the Heat due to an illness.
ANALYSIS
Camara hadn't been on the injury report all day but is now in danger of missing his second contest of the season Tuesday due to an illness. If Camara is ultimately downgraded to out, Kris Murray (chest) and Deni Avdija are candidates to receive increased playing time.
Jan 19, 2025
Posts 17 points in defeat
Camara closed with 17 points (7-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-6 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 30 minutes during Saturday's 125-103 loss to the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Camara bounced back after a rare scoreless performance against the Clippers, which was preceded by his best scoring total of the season against the Nets. Camara registered numbers in every statistical category and assumed a larger role amid struggles from Portland's backcourt and Deandre Ayton's (back) absence. Deni Avdija (ankle) was also sidelined, and he represents Camara's biggest threat to retaining a first-unit role.
Jan 15, 2025
Scores 23 points, fills stat sheet
Camara recorded 23 points (7-21 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 132-114 loss to the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Camara didn't have his best shooting performance and needed 21 shots to score 23 points, but fantasy managers will gladly overlook those efficiency issues if he stuffs the stat sheet as he did Tuesday. He's been playing at a high level since the calendar flipped to 2025. In seven January outings, Camara is averaging 14.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.9 blocks across 35.0 minutes per contest.
Jan 9, 2025
Balanced output Wednesday
Camara closed Wednesday's 119-100 victory over the Pelicans with 15 points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals across 29 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Camara filled the box score for the Blazers on Wednesday, continuing to be a steady presence on the defensive side of the floor with a game-high three steals. Through his last 10 outings, Camara is averaging 11.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.2 threes in 33.0 minutes. The 24-year-old forward is a relatively low-end fantasy option in most formats, but Camara should remain entrenched into a spot in Portland's starting lineup going forward, especially as long as Matisse Thybulle (ankle) remains out of action.
Jan 3, 2025
Season-high 18 points in loss
Camara supplied 18 points (8-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and one block over 39 minutes during Thursday's 114-106 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Camara posted a season-high 18 points Thursday, scoring in double figures for the second game in a row. The second-year pro has been slightly inconsistent as a scorer thus far, though he is on pace to surpass his numbers from last year through 32 regular-season appearances. Over his last five outings, Camara has averaged 8.2 points and 8.2 rebounds across 32.8 minutes per contest.
Dec 30, 2024
Gets green light vs. 76ers
Camara (foot) will play Monday against Philadelphia, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.
ANALYSIS
Camara was considered questionable due to a left foot sprain heading into Monday's clash, and it's since been announced that he'll return to the starting lineup following a one-game absence. He's averaging 7.8 points, 8.4 rebonds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 steals over his last five appearances.
Dec 29, 2024
Iffy for Monday
Camara (foot) is questionable for Monday's game against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Camara missed Saturday's contest due to a left foot sprain which now has his status for Monday in question. If he is unable to go, Kris Murray and Rayan Rupert could see increased playing time.
Dec 28, 2024
Won't play due to left foot sprain
Camara (foot) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Mavericks, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.
ANALYSIS
Camara was able to play through a right foot issue earlier in the year, but he will miss his first game of the season Saturday due to a left foot sprain. It's unclear whether the injury is severe enough for him to be in jeopardy of missing Monday's contest against the 76ers. Kris Murray and Rayan Rupert are in line to see additional playing time due to Camara's absence.
Dec 27, 2024
Nursing left foot sprain
Camara (foot) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Camara played through a right foot injury earlier in the season, but he is now in jeopardy of missing his first game of the campaign Saturday due to a left foot sprain. Deni Avdija could be inserted into the starting lineup if Camara is unable to play. Since and including Dec. 1, Camara has averaged 8.1 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists over 30 minutes per game.
Dec 16, 2024
Stuffs stat sheet Sunday
Camara had 14 points (5-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 32 minutes during Sunday's 116-109 loss to the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Camara showed the injury he sustained earlier this month against the Jazz is no longer an issue. This 14-point effort was his best scoring output since his 17-point output against the Mavericks on Dec. 1. Camara has been a regular starter for Portland this season, but he has low-end fantasy upside due to his secondary role in the offensive scheme. He's averaging 9.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game since the beginning of December while logging 28.8 minutes per contest.
Dec 8, 2024
Cleared to play Sunday
Camara (foot) is listed as available for Sunday's game against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Camara is available Sunday after initially being listed as doubtful for the contest. The 24-year-old sustained a foot injury during Friday's loss to the Jazz after playing only eight minutes. Camara has started in all 23 of his regular-season appearances, though it is unclear if he'll operate under a minutes restriction against the Lakers.
Dec 8, 2024
Upgraded to questionable
Camara (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Camara left Friday's loss to the Jazz after only eight minutes and was initially listed as doubtful for Sunday's contest. He's started all 23 of his appearances this season, averaging 30.0 minutes per game. If he's sidelined for the first time this season, Deni Avdija would likely draw another start.
Dec 7, 2024
Won't play Sunday vs. Lakers
Camara (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lakers, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.
ANALYSIS
Camara injured his right foot in the first quarter of Friday's 140-99 loss to the Jazz. He got imaging on his foot after the game, but the results of those tests have yet to be announced. If Camara managed to avoid a serious injury, his next opportunity to play would be Friday against the Spurs. In Camara's absence, Deni Avdija will likely step into the Trail Blazers' starting lineup while Kris Murray and Rayan Rupert will see an uptick in playing time off the bench.
Dec 7, 2024
Getting imaging on right foot
Head coach Chauncey Billups said after Friday's 140-99 loss to the Jazz that Camara underwent imaging on his right foot, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Camara was ruled out for the rest of Friday's game after injuring his right foot in the first quarter. The results of the imaging will dictate Camara's recovery time, and if the second-year forward is forced to sit out for an extended period of time, that would open the door for more minutes for Deni Avdija, Dalano Banton and Rayan Rupert. Camara started in the first 22 games of the 2024-25 regular season and entered Friday's game averaging 9.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.5 steals over 31.0 minutes per contest.
Dec 6, 2024
Won't return Friday vs. Utah
Camara (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Friday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Camara injured his ankle in the first quarter of Friday's game, and he has been ruled out for the rest of the contest after being evaluated by trainers in the locker room. Deni Avdija will see a bump in minutes and could enter the Trail Blazers' starting lineup for the second half due to Camara's injury.
Dec 6, 2024
Exits game due to ankle injury
Camara (ankle) went back to the locker room late in the first quarter of Friday's game against the Jazz, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.
ANALYSIS
Camara rolled his ankle during the first quarter of Friday's game, and he went back to the locker room after being checked on by trainers. Deni Avdija should see a significant uptick in playing time off the bench for as long as Camara is sidelined.
Dec 2, 2024
Scores 17 points in loss
Camara logged 17 points (6-10 FG, 5-7 3Pt), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Sunday's 137-131 loss to the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Camara's 17 points mark a new season best, and he knocked down a career-high five triples. Known as a defensive specialist, Camara is also picking it up on the offensive end lately. Over his past five games, he's averaging 10.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.0 three-pointers.
Nov 28, 2024
Limited run Wednesday
Camara supplied eight points (3-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 121-114 loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Camara battled some early foul trouble, limiting him to just 24 minutes. It's been an up-and-down season in terms of production, although his role has remained relatively consistent. He has the ability to contribute on both ends of the floor, albeit on low volume. Despite this effort, he should remain a serviceable asset moving forward.
Nov 20, 2024
Serviceable again in loss
Camara finished with 14 points (5-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one block across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 109-99 loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Camara continues to be relatively consistent, be it on the offensive or defensive end of the court. Although his numbers won't jump off the page, he has been able to make the most of a favorable situation after being inserted into the starting lineup on opening night. In 31.8 minutes per game, Camara is averaging 9.1 points to go with 5.1 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 1.5 three-pointers.
Nov 5, 2024
Stuffs stat sheet in win
Camara posted 16 points (6-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes during Monday's 118-100 victory over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Camara surpassed the 15-point mark for the first time this season, but scoring figures aside, he delivered a strong fantasy performance due to his ability to contribute in multiple categories. Camara could use some consistency as a scorer given that he's entrenched in a starting role, but even with those woes, he's averaging a respectable 9.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.8 steals per game in eight contests while averaging 30.6 minutes per tilt.
Nov 2, 2024
Efficient in loss
Camara chipped in 13 points (4-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 24 minutes during Friday's 137-114 loss to Oklahoma City.
ANALYSIS
After logging 40 minutes against the Clippers, Camara saw his playing time dip to 24 minutes in Friday's loss. The second-year forward has now recorded at least one steal in all six of his appearances this season.
Oct 28, 2024
Scores 12 points
Camara racked up 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, four assists and two steals over 34 minutes during Sunday's 125-103 victory over New Orleans.
ANALYSIS
Playing in his second season, Camara has been a key part of Portland's rotation early on this season. He's been productive across the board in fantasy leagues as well, posting averages of 9.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.7 three-pointers through three games.
Oct 17, 2024
Records double-double
Camara notched 15 points (5-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, a steal and a block across 35 minutes in Wednesday's 111-100 preseason win over Ratiopharm Ulm.
ANALYSIS
Camara was one of three Portland players who logged more than 30 minutes in this outing, with Scoot Henderson and Rayan Rupert being the others, and he made the most of his time out there. Even though he wasn't particularly efficient, Camara delivered a solid stat line across the board and is showing he's more than ready for the start of the regular season against the Warriors on Oct. 23, regardless of whether he starts or comes off the bench.
Oct 14, 2024
Efficient in preseason win
Camara scored 13 points (4-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT) while adding a rebound, an assist and two steals across 23 minutes in Sunday's 108-85 preseason win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
The Trail Blazers have yet to decide on who will open the season in the starting unit, but Camara is trying to make a strong case to earn a role there. That said, he might open the season as the backup of Deni Avdija at small forward regardless of whether Anfernee Simons (ankle) is ready for the season opener on Oct. 23 against the Warriors. Camara started in 49 of his 70 regular-season appearances as a rookie in 2023-24 and averaged 7.5 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.9 steals across 24.8 minutes per game.
Oct 12, 2024
Just misses double-double in start
Camara scored 19 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-8 Ft) while adding nine rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in 31 minutes during Friday's 101-99 preseason loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
The second-year forward saw a hefty workload in the Blazers' preseason opener with Deni Avdija (personal), Shaedon Sharpe (shoulder) and Anfernee Simons (ankle) all unavailable, and Camara took advantage of the opportunity to lead the team in points and boards. Despite the intriguing all-around performance, the 2023 second-round pick will be back on the second unit when the rest of the Portland roster is at full strength.
Oct 11, 2024
Gets starting nod
Camara is in the starting lineup for Friday's preseason game versus the Kings, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Camara will start in place of Anfernee Simons (ankle) on Friday. Camara made 49 regular-season starts last season but is expected to be one of Portland's primary bench options in 2024-25.
Sep 30, 2024
Cleared for camp
Portland general manager Joe Cronin said Monday that Camara (ribs) is good to go for training camp, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Camara suffered a fractured left rib and a small laceration in his kidney at the end of March to end his rookie season early. The second-round pick out of Dayton showed a ton of promise, however, especially on the defensive end. In 70 regular-season appearances, Camara produced averages of 7.5 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.8 three-pointers in 24.8 minutes.
Mar 30, 2024
Out for remainder of 2023-24
The Trail Blazers announced Saturday that Camara has a fractured left rib and a small laceration in his kidney, which will cause him to miss the rest of the season.
ANALYSIS
Camara suffered his injury in Wednesday's matchup with Atlanta. With Portland sitting at 19-55 and eliminated from postseason contention, the Trail Blazers will allow their rookie forward to sit out the rest of the campaign and make a full recovery heading into 2024-25. Camra will end the season averaging 7.5 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 24.8 minutes across 70 appearances, including 49 starts.
Mar 28, 2024
Dealing with rib contusion
Camara won't play in Friday's game against Miami due to a left rib contusion.
ANALYSIS
With Camara sidelined and Jerami Grant (hamstring) doubtful, Jabari Walker is a candidate to start at power forward and play heavy minutes. The severity of Camara's injury remains unclear, but his next chance to suit up will come Monday in Orlando.
Mar 28, 2024
Efficient in loss to Atlanta
Camara supplied 17 points (7-9 FG, 3-4 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 120-106 loss to Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Even though Dalano Banton stole the show for the Blazers with his 31-point effort, Camara was highly efficient in the frontcourt, missing just two of his nine shots and scoring in double digits for the fourth consecutive game. He's averaging 14.0 points while shooting 55 percent from the field in that stretch. Expect Camara to continue seeing heavy minutes in the final weeks of the regular season as Portland's starting power forward.
Mar 26, 2024
Contributes at both ends Monday
Camara totaled 12 points (4-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, two blocks and two steals across 35 minutes during Monday's 110-92 loss to the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Camara scored in double digits for the third consecutive game, and while his numbers have not been eye-popping, he's been serviceable in a struggling Portland team. He could be worth a flier in deep formats or as a streaming option, as he's started in all but one of his 13 appearances this month, averaging 8.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists and a combined 1.4 steals-plus-blocks per game.
Mar 23, 2024
Scores 11 points with 11 shots
Camara logged 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt), seven rebounds and one assist over 32 minutes during Friday's 125-117 loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Camara has been very inconsistent with his scoring figures lately, and while his starting role is not in jeopardy, he isn't doing much from a fantasy perspective. Camara has failed to reach the 10-point mark in seven of his 11 appearances this month, meaning he's averaging a paltry 7.8 points per game in March even when he's shooting 47.8 percent from the field.
Mar 13, 2024
Returns to starting unit
Camara is in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Camara will replace Jerami Grant (hamstring) in the starting five Wednesday. Camara is averaging 12.0 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 30.2 minutes across his last five starting appearances this season.
Mar 11, 2024
Shifts to bench role
Camara is coming off the bench Monday night against the Celtics, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.
ANALYSIS
Camara has started his last nine appearances for the Blazers, but he'll shift to a reserve role Monday night with Scoot Henderson back in the fold at point guard. Kris Murray gets the nod at small forward and Jerami Grant shifts to power forward as a result of the lineup change.
Mar 9, 2024
Nears double figures in return
Camara logged nine points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds and one steal across 30 minutes during Friday's 123-107 loss to the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Camara returned from a two-game absence due to illness by ending one point shy of the double-digit scoring mark and ending as one of three Portland starters with seven or more boards in a balanced performance. Camara has recorded at least nine points and seven rebounds in eight games this season, including in three of his last four outings.
Mar 8, 2024
Starting Friday
Camara (llness) will start at power forward in Friday's matchup with the Rockets, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Camara, who is returning from a two-game absence, figures to see a healthy workload with Jerami Grant (hamstring), Deandre Ayton (hand), Scott Henderson (groin) and Jabari Walker (hip all sidelined. That is, should he avoid any setbacks from his previous illness.
Mar 8, 2024
Good to go Friday
Camara (illness) will play in Friday's game versus Houston, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
This will be a relief to Portland, as they will be without Jerami Grant (hamstring), Deandre Ayton (hand), Scoot Henderson (groin), Jabari Walker (hip) and several others Friday. Camara missed the past two games for Portland, but he could see heavy minutes Friday if he's feeling up to it.
Mar 7, 2024
Listed as questionable
Camara (illness) is questionable for Friday's game versus Houston.
ANALYSIS
Camara has missed the past two games for Portland, but he remains day-to-day. If Camara is unable to suit up Friday, Kris Murray would likely soak up the majority of his minutes.
Mar 6, 2024
Downgraded to out
Camara (illness) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Thunder, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.
ANALYSIS
Camara will miss a second straight contest due to a non-COVID illness. With Jerami Grant (quadriceps) and Matisse Thybulle (hip) labeled as game-time decisions, Kris Murray, Jabari Walker and Rayan Rupert could be tasked with larger workloads Wednesday. Camara's next chance to suit up will come Friday against the Rockets.
Mar 5, 2024
Iffy for Wednesday
Camara (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Camara was unable to play Monday against Minnesota, and he's in jeopardy of missing his second straight. Portland continues to deal with several key injuries, and Jerami Grant (quadriceps) is also questionable to suit up. If Camara is unable to play, Kris Murray could see another hefty workload for the Trail Blazers.
Mar 4, 2024
Downgraded to out
Camara (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Camara, Deandre Ayton (hand), Matisse Thybulle (hip) and Jerami Grant (quad) have all been downgraded to out, so Portland will be extremely shorthanded versus Minnesota. Dalano Banton, Jabari Walker, Kris Murray and Ashton Hagans are candidates for increased roles, but Anfernee Simons will have to lead Portland's offense.
Mar 4, 2024
Questionable for Monday
Camara is questionable to play Monday against the Timberwolves due to an illness.
ANALYSIS
With Jerami Grant (quad) doubtful and Matisse Thybulle (hip) questionable, the Trail Blazers could be paper thin at the forward spots Monday evening. If all those guys are out, Jabari Walker and Dalano Banton could be forced to flirt with 40-plus minutes, so they are both on the radar as potential targets in daily fantasy leagues.
Feb 28, 2024
Records double-double Tuesday
Camara totaled 17 points (6-12 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists in 32 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 106-96 loss to Miami.
ANALYSIS
Camara's point total was third highest on the Blazers and the second highest of his career, trailing just his 18-point performance versus Utah on Dec. 14. The rookie also grabbed 10 boards to record his second double-double of the campaign. This was a very strong bounce-back effort for Camara after he averaged just 3.0 points on 27.3 percent shooting over his previous two games.
Feb 13, 2024
Moves into starting lineup
Camara will start Tuesday's game against Minnesota, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.
ANALYSIS
Portland will move Jabari Walker to the bench as they roll with a smaller lineup Tuesday with Anfernee Simons (ankle) and Scoot Henderson (foot) back in action. As a starter this season, Camara holds averages of 7.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 0.9 three-pointers.
Feb 10, 2024
Moves back to bench Saturday
Camara is not in the starting lineup to face New Orleans on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Camara started against the Pistons on Feb. 8, racking up nine points and 10 rebounds across 36 minutes, but he moves back to a reserve role here with Ashton Hagans moving to the starting unit. Camara is averaging 5.3 points and 4.4 rebounds across 21.1 minutes per game when deployed off the bench this season.
Feb 8, 2024
Joins starting five
Camara will start Thursday's game against the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Portland is going to be very shorthanded Thursday night, so Camara's versatility could see him used all over the floor. In 30 starts this season, Camara posted averages of 7.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 0.9 three-pointers.
Feb 2, 2024
Enters starting lineup
Camara will enter the starting lineup for Friday's game against Denver.
ANALYSIS
Jerami Grant was a late scratch due to a back issue, so Portland will turn to their rookie. As a starter this season, Camara holds averages of 7.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 0.9 three-pointers.
Jan 27, 2024
Provides spark off bench in loss
Camara racked up 12 points (4-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 23 minutes during Friday's 116-100 loss to the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Camara led all Portland bench players in scoring and rebounds while adding a team-high-tying pair of steals to provide a spark off the bench in a losing effort. Camara has finished in double figures in scoring in 11 games this season, his second such performance while coming off the bench.
Jan 17, 2024
Heads to bench
Camara isn't in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus the Nets, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Jerami Grant will replace Camara in the starting five Wednesday. The rookie forward is averaging 4.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 1.2 assists in 25.8 minutes across his previous five appearances coming off the bench.
Jan 12, 2024
Reaches double figures in defeat
Camara finished with 14 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds and one block over 25 minutes in Friday's 116-93 loss to Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Camara saw limited time on the court due to the blowout nature of the game, still managing to finish as one of four Portland players with a double-digit point total to go along with a handful of rebounds. Camara tallied his third game of the year with 14 or more points, adding five or more boards in all three of those contests.
Jan 3, 2024
Good to go Wednesday
Camara (knee) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Mavericks, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Camara has been upgraded from questionable to available Wednesday after missing the previous game with right knee soreness. The rookie forward will replace Matisse Thybulle in the starting lineup.
Jan 2, 2024
Iffy against Dallas
Camara (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Camara is in danger of missing his second straight game Wednesday due to right knee soreness. If the rookie forward is ruled out, Jabari Walker, Kris Murray and Ish Wainright could continue to receive extended minutes.
Jan 1, 2024
Won't play Monday
Camara (knee) is inactive for Monday's game against Phoenix, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Camara will miss his first game of the season and snap a streak of 22 straight starts for Portland. Matisse Thybulle and Jabari Walker are likely due for slight upticks in playing time, while Camara's next opportunity to take the court comes Wednesday against Dallas.
Dec 31, 2023
Dealing with knee soreness
Camara has some right knee soreness and is questionable for Monday's game versus the Suns.
ANALYSIS
This is a new injury for the rookie, but he's considered day-to-day. He's coming off one of the best games of his season Friday against the Spurs, as he produced 13 points, 11 rebounds, two assists, three steals and one three-pointer in 36 minutes. Portland will be missing Anfernee Simons (illness) and Deandre Ayton (knee) again, but Shaedon Sharpe (groin) has been upgraded to questionable.
Dec 29, 2023
Will play against Spurs
Camara (thumb) will play against the Spurs on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Camara hasn't missed a game this season and will keep his streak alive after shaking his questionable tag. The rookie is averaging 7.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 0.8 three-pointers in 12 December games.
Dec 29, 2023
Questionable for Friday
Camara is questionable for Friday's game against the Spurs due to right thumb soreness.
ANALYSIS
Camara hasn't yet missed a game this season, but he's dealing with a thumb injury before the second half of a back-to-back set. He played 21 minutes in Thursday's loss to San Antonio, logging one point and seven rebounds.
Dec 23, 2023
Available to face Warriors
Camara (thumb) is available to face the Warriors on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Portland will be without Shaedon Sharpe (adductor) on Saturday, so Camara could be in line for another busy outing while presumably guarding the best opposing guard -- most likely Stephen Curry. Camara is averaging 9.2 points and 4.8 rebounds per game over his last five outings, all of them as a starter.
Dec 22, 2023
Listed as probable
Camara is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Warriors due to a right thumb sprain.
ANALYSIS
Portland will again be without Shaedon Sharpe (adductor), and with Camara's injury appearing to be a minor setback, he's likely looking at heavy minutes. Coach Chauncey Billups has been challenging Camara to guard the best player on opposing teams, so he's bound to spend time on Stephen Curry during Saturday's game.
Dec 15, 2023
Season-high scoring effort Thursday
Camara provided 18 points (7-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and six rebounds over 24 minutes during Thursday's 122-114 loss to the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Making his 14th straight start, Camera produced his best scoring performance of the season while also draining more than two three-pointers in a game for the first time. The 2023 second-round pick has taken advantage of various injuries and absences in the Portland lineup to keep his run in the starting five going, but he's averaging just 8.4 points, 4.8 boards, 1.1 threes, 1.0 assists and 0.9 steals over that stretch. Camera has proven to be a nice addition to the roster, but he's still far from fantasy relevance in most season-long formats.
Dec 9, 2023
Logs 14 points despite cold shot
Camara accumulated 14 points (6-20 FG, 2-10 3Pt), nine rebounds and one steal in 32 minutes during Friday's 125-112 loss to the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Camara's presence inside helped what was an otherwise tepid night on the floor for Camara, who absorbed some of Deandre Ayton's (knee) production in the paint. Camara attempted an uncharacteristic 10 attempts beyond the arc with little success, but Jerami Grant's (concussion) wss the likely reason why Camara was bringing the frontcourt out on the perimeter.
Dec 7, 2023
Grabs season-high 13 rebounds
Camara contributed six points (3-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt), 13 rebounds and two assists over 27 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 110-106 loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Although Camara continues to struggle as a scorer, he picked up some of Deandre Ayton's (knee) missing output with the best rebound total of his pro career. The Dayton product is seeing first unit minutes right away in his rookie season, but he'll needs to improve his production to gain fantasy relevancy.
Nov 28, 2023
Limited again despite start
Camara registered five points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds over 17 minutes during Monday's 114-110 victory over the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Camara started for the eighth consecutive game, yet struggled to any sort of real impact. Despite starting, his playing time was under 20 minutes for the third time in the past five games. Since being elevated to the opening unit, Camara has been well outside the top 200 in standard leagues, making him a non-factor outside of very deep formats.

Scoreless in loss
Camara didn't score any points (0-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), but he did log three assists, two steals and a rebound in Wednesday's 109-95 loss to Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
This game marked Camara's second start, relegating Matisse Thybulle to the bench. After a relatively efficient showing against Utah on Tuesday, he did not do much to help the shorthanded Blazers as they extended their losing streak to five. On the plus side, Camara has exceeded 22 minutes in every game this season except the opener; however, the lack of production to show for it (5.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.7 blocks) is quite concerning. As Anfernee Simons (thumb), Scoot Henderson (ankle) and Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) remain out, expect the rookie to see extended minutes until they return.

Gets starting nod
Camara will get the starting nod against the Jazz, according to Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site
ANALYSIS
Portland is shaking things up Tuesday, as Matisse Thybulle will move to the second unit. Camara has played a pretty sizable role so far this season, but he's averaging just 5.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 24.6 minutes per game.

Will play Sunday
Camara (wrist) will play in Sunday's matchup against the Grizzlies,Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Camara's status was in question due to a wrist sprain, but after taking part in warmups he has been cleared to play. The rookie has seen a respectable role to begin his career, averaging 6.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 24.5 minutes per game across six contests. Camara saw 31 minutes last game with Scoot Henderson sidelined with an ankle injury, so he could be in store for another significant workload with Henderson out again.

Questionable for Sunday
Camara is questionable to play Sunday against the Grizzlies due to a left wrist sprain, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Camara has seen decent minutes off the bench to start the season and has logged at least 20 minutes in each of his last five appearances. If he can't go Sunday, then Jabari Walker, Moses Brown or Kris Murray would all be in line to receive more minutes.

Coming off bench Wednesday
Camara won't start Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Camara drew the start in Portland's preseason finale with several would-be starters sidelined and only played 12 minutes. As expected, he'll rejoin the reserves for Wednesday's opener, though it's unclear how large of a role he'll command.

Pulled after slow start
Camara compiled one point (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three assists, a rebound, a steal and a blocked shot across 12 minutes during Monday's 117-106 loss to the Suns.
ANALYSIS
After a red-hot preseason debut, Camara left the game early during Monday's loss without much explanation for the exit. The 2023 second-round pick was part of the massive three-team trade that sent Damian Lillard to the Bucks, and although he's expected to be part of the rotation after an outstanding stint in the Summer League, it's unclear where he will end up in the pecking order.

Joins starters
Camara will start Monday's preseason finale against Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
Camara continues gaining momentum towards carving out a rotation role for the Trail Blazers. The rookie is joined by Scoot Henderson, Shaedon Sharpe, Jabari Walker and Duop Reath in the starting lineup.

Looks good in NBA preseason debut
Camara racked up 13 points (5-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal over 14 minutes Tuesday in a 106-66 preseason victory versus New Zealand.
ANALYSIS
Camara was perhaps the most impressive player for Portland in the team's preseason opener, as he finished second on the club in scoring with an efficient 5-for-6 mark from the field, including a pair of triples. The Dayton product rounded out his stat line with four boards and three dimes while looking very comfortable on the court. Camara likely benefited from an opportunity standpoint when he was traded to a rebuilding Blazers squad after Phoenix took him with the 52nd pick in June's NBA draft, and he could build a case for a more-than-minor bench role with a strong preseason following an impressive showing during the Summer League.
Sep 27, 2023
Shipped to Portland
The Suns traded Camara to the Trail Blazers in a three-team deal with the Bucks on Wednesday, Adrian Wojnarowski reports.
ANALYSIS
Phoenix will send Camara and Deandre Ayton to Portland in exchange for Jusuf Nurkic, Grayson Allen, Nassir Little and Keon Johnson. Camara was drafted with the No. 52 pick in the 2023 draft by the Suns and averaged 16.3 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 29.2 minutes across four appearances in the 2023 Summer League. The rookie forward will likely compete for a bench role on a rebuilding Trail Blazers team.

Shimmers in Summer League finale
Camara logged 20 points (4-11 FG, 1-4 3PT, 11-12 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 23 minutes of Saturday's 102-79 Summer League win against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Camara finished Summer League on a high note, posting a double-double in 23 minutes of Saturday's tilt. He corralled game highs in both points and rebounds and was a force on the interior, pulling down five offensive boards and getting to the line 12 times. Though Camara was selected 52nd overall in the 2023 NBA draft, he's made a case to push for early minutes for a revamped Suns roster.

Available Friday
Duane Rankin of The Arizona RepublicCamara is expected to be available for Friday's Summer League game against the Jazz, Duane Rankin reports.
ANALYSIS
Camara is not carrying an injury, but he was given the night off for rest Tuesday against the Pelicans. He's had a strong Summer League so far, averaging 15.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.5 steals in two games.

Resting against Pelicans
Camara is resting for Tuesday's Summer League game against the Pelicans, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
This is the second night of a back-to-back so the Suns are taking it easy on the rookie. He's likely to be back in action for July 14 against the Jazz.

Shines in NBA debut
Camara recorded 20 points (8-13 FG, 1-4 3PT, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds and a steal over 31 minutes of Saturday's 84-75 loss to Milwaukee during Summer League.
ANALYSIS
After being drafted by the Suns with the No. 52 pick in this year's draft, Camara looked like anything but a rookie in his first taste of NBA action. He led the Suns with 20 points and fell just two rebounds shy of a double-double. With the Suns roster undergoing massive changes this offseason, Camara has a chance to come in a play for a rotation spot with a strong preseason showing.
