Dalano Banton Questionable for Trail Blazers’ Game Against Spurs on December 21st with Hip Injury
Dalano Banton of the Portland Trail Blazers is dealing with a left-hip contusion. His status is questionable for their upcoming game against the San Antonio Spurs on December 21st. The injury first occurred on December 18th, and Banton missed the game against the Denver Nuggets due to this issue.
What It Means
Banton’s absence could affect the Trail Blazers as he averages 9.8 points per game this season. He also contributes 2.3 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game. His shooting percentages are decent, with a field goal percentage of 42.2% and a three-point percentage of 36.5%.
If Banton cannot play, Anfernee Simons and Scoot Henderson may see increased playing time. Simons leads the team in minutes per game at his position, while Henderson averages more points than Banton at point guard. This depth could help cover for Banton if he remains out.
