The Portland Trail Blazers are in a time of transition, growing out of a rebuild phase, arcing towards contention in a crowded, talented Western Conference. Rebuilding or contending? The Blazers are properly described by neither designation at the moment. The middle ground they occupy leads to a fair amount of uncertainty and frustration, but also […]
The Knicks are supposed to be in the midst of an easy portion of the schedule. They had back-to-back games against the Trail Blazers and Kings, the latter of which is amongst the worst teams in the league. And then after consecutive games against the Warriors and Suns, two good teams, they squared off against […]
The Miami Heat visit Moda Center tonight for a rematch with Deni Avdija and the Portland Trail Blazers. Miami won its last contest with Portland on November 8th by a score of 136-131.

Portland Trail Blazers All-Star-in-waiting Deni Avdija is riding high through the 2025-26 NBA season. 26 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists per game will bring plenty of notice and praise. But the journey from Point A to Point ASG wasn’t easy for the 6’8 do-everything player. Avdija came up through the international ranks in his […]
Yang Hansen made headlines the moment the Portland Trail Blazers selected him in the first round of the 2025 NBA Draft. The world waited to see if the prodigy from China would make a splash in the American league. So far, he hasn’t. The 7’1 center has appeared in 25 games, averaging just 8.4 minutes […]
When perusing Portland Trail Blazers highlights and news briefs, two names are bound to come up more than any other: high-flying guard Shaedon Sharpe and Mr. Everything, Deni Avdija. Next to them toils a less-heralded forward, known well in Portland circles but absent from national discussion: Toumani Camara. In his third year, Camara is averaging […]
Two major subtexts have dominated the Portland Trail Blazers’ 2025-26 season. The rise of Deni Avdija to an All-Star, maybe All-League, level has been the primary story.

No Deni Avdija? No problem. At least you wouldn’t think so from the Portland Trail Blazers’ response to Avdija missing three of four games this week due to injury. Not only have the Blazers won three in a row, two of their players—Shaedon Sharpe and Donovan Clingan—earned consideration for NBA Player of the Week. When […]
The Portland Trail Blazers have finally regained a .500 record, standing at 22-22 after 44 games of their 2025-26 regular season.

The Portland Trail Blazers went 3-1 this week to make their way back to .500 on the season.

On the second night of a home-away back-to-back, the Portland Trail Blazers held on to overcome the Sacramento Kings 117-110.

The Portland Trail Blazers’ 132-116 win over the Los Angeles Lakers was simple on Saturday night. The almost routine nature of the victory — Portland’s second straight 16-point win with star Deni Avdija out of the lineup — reflects the newfound stability this team has found as it moves past the midway point of the […]

The Portland Trail Blazers took a double-digit lead in the first quarter and never looked back, surviving a few half-hearted scares to top the Luka-less Los Angeles Lakers (say that five times fast) 132-116.
