Spielerstatistiken und Vorschau: Portland Trail Blazers gegen Los Angeles Lakers (16. März 2027)

Injury/Illness - Left Heel Contusion / Bone Bruise (2026-11-15, LAL@PHX). Prior reporting (2026-11-15): Reaves (heel) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Suns, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports. Reaves is dealing with a left heel bruise he sustained during Wednesday's 123-112 victory over Milwaukee, and he'll now miss his second contest of the season. Luka Doncic will carry the load on offense, while Collin Sexton, Jaden Hardy and Ziaire Williams should see a boost in minutes.

Injury/Illness - Right Finger Splint (2026-11-15, LAL@PHX).

Injury/Illness - Right Orbital Laceration (2026-11-15, LAL@PHX). Prior reporting (2026-11-15): Sexton (head) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Suns, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports. Sexton was a full participant in Saturday's practice, and while the questionable tag exercises some caution, he's trending in the right direction and could be available Sunday. The veteran has been putting up solid numbers of late, scoring in double digits in all but one of his last five appearances and averaging 11.0 points, 1.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game in that span.

Injury/Illness - Illness (2026-11-15, LAL@PHX).

Injury/Illness - Left Ankle Sprain (2026-11-15, LAL@PHX). Prior reporting (2026-11-15): Thiero (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Suns. Thiero missed the first nine games of the season due to a knee injury, and he's now dealing with a sprained left ankle. If he's unable to suit up, Ziaire Williams and Sandro Mamukelashvili will likely soak up any vacated minutes.

Injury/Illness - Illness (2026-11-15, LAL@PHX).

Head coach Micah Nori said Morant met with a doctor in Los Angeles, who gave him a positive outlook on his recovery from the hamstring injury. While Nori declined to update Morant's timetable, he added Morant "may not be out for as long as we thought," Trail Blazers Insider Sean Highkin reports. Morant was initially given a four-week timetable after he suffered a Grade 2 left hamstring strain on Oct. 30. It sounds like he's making solid progress, though it would be surprising to see him beat that timetable given the tricky nature of hamstring injuries. Scoot Henderson will continue to start in his absence and there will be more minutes available for Jrue Holiday.

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

Krejci underwent surgery on his fractured left ankle Wednesday and will be re-evaluated in eight weeks, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports. Krejci suffered the ankle injury in last Wednesday's win over the Suns and is set to miss an extended period after undergoing surgery. With the 26-year-old and Ja Morant (hamstring) both on the shelf, Jrue Holiday and Sidy Cissoko should continue seeing increased minutes.

Youngblood (foot) is out for Friday's game against Sacramento. Youngblood is in line for a second straight absence due to a bone bruise in his right foot. His next opportunity to run the floor will arrive Monday in Minnesota.
