Reath (knee) will play in Wednesday's game against Utah.
Reath will return from a two-game absence due to a right knee injury. His availability could mean fewer opportunities for Jabari Walker. Reath averages 4.3 points and 2.0 rebounds across 10.3 minutes per game this season.

Trail Blazers' Duop Reath: Season-high 13 points in win
Rotowire
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.
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 continue to crack the club's rotation if Robert Williams (knee) remains sidelined alongside Deandre Ayton (calf).

Trail Blazers' Duop Reath: Drops eight points in win
Rotowire
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.
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, there is no reason to think this is anything more than a cameo given he's only played twice in the last six games.

Rotowire
The Trail Blazers assigned Reath to the G League's Rip City Remix on Saturday.

Trail Blazers' Duop Reath: Unavailable Sunday
Rotowire
Reath (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lakers.
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.

Trail Blazers' Duop Reath: Posts 14 points in finale
Rotowire
Reath finished Sunday's 121-82 loss to the Kings with 14 points (5-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, three steals and one block across 24 minutes.
Though Deandre Ayton (back) sat out the season finale, Reath wasn't called upon to start at center, as the Trail Blazers instead moved Moses Brown up to the top unit. Brown ended up playing just 15 minutes, however, with Reath instead seeing the most usage of any Portland center. The 27-year-old rookie closed the 2023-24 campaign with averages of 9.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.3 three-pointers, 1.0 assists, 0.6 blocks and 0.5 steals in 17.9 minutes per game over 68 appearances while serving as Ayton's top backup for most of the season. Both Ayton and Reath are under contract for the upcoming season, but it's unclear if Portland will head into 2024-25 with Reath as the primary backup. Robert Williams is on Portland's books through 2025-26 and had been earmarked for the backup center role before he underwent season-ending surgery in November to reconstruct a torn ligament in his right knee. Williams is expected to be fully healthy in time for training camp, and he could push Reath back down to third on the depth chart.

Trail Blazers' Duop Reath: Heads back to bench
Rotowire
Reath isn't in the starting five for Friday's game versus Miami, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

Trail Blazers' Duop Reath: Excels with 24 points in loss
Rotowire
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.
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. The Trail Blazers could use several different lineup configurations as they run out the clock this year, and the team will likely explore Reath further as part of its future plans.

Trail Blazers' Duop Reath: Likely starter vs. Clippers

Deandre 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.

Trail Blazers' Duop Reath: Moves to bench
Rotowire
Reath will come off the bench for Saturday's game against the Raptors.
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.
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.
Reath delivered his best scoring output of the season in a game 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 Reath has 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 Reath will have when the Blazers face the Thunder on Wednesday.

Trail Blazers' Duop Reath: Inks three-year deal
Rotowire
The Trail Blazers converted Reath's two-way contract into a three-year, standard NBA contract Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Despite his status as a two-way player, Reath had spent most of the 2023-24 season with the Trail Blazers as the top backup to Deandre Ayton. The rookie is averaging 8.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.4 three-pointers, 1.1 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.5 blocks in 17.4 minutes per game in 40 appearances (11 starts) this season.
