Anfernee Simons

Simons popped up on the injury report Sunday afternoon and was subsequently ruled out with an elbow injury. With the 25-year-old shooting guard out, Scoot Henderson should be in line for a big workload Sunday against the Bulls.

The Blazers welcome back Avdija and Ayton but will play Sunday without Anfernee Simons. His absence means Henderson will return to the starting lineup, this time as the lone point guard. Avdija has replaced Shaedon Sharpe in the lineup, with Blazers coach Chauncey Billups noting the latter's defensive struggles as the reason for the change.

Simons popped up on the injury report as questionable with an elbow injury Sunday. The 25-year-old shooting guard could be on the wrong side of questionable given that the Trail Blazers are on the second leg of a back-to-back. Scoot Henderson could be in line for more usage against the Bulls if Simons is out Sunday.
