Dalano Banton Out for Trail Blazers Due to Hip Contusion
Dalano Banton is dealing with a left-hip contusion and will not take the court for the Portland Trail Blazers. The injury has kept him out of recent games, and his status remains out as the team continues their season.
What It Means
Banton’s absence is a setback for the Trail Blazers. He has been averaging 9.5 points per game this season. His shooting percentages are 42.1% from the field and 35.6% from three-point range.
The team will need other players to step up in his place. Anfernee Simons and Scoot Henderson are higher on the depth chart at point guard. They may see more minutes while Banton recovers from his hip injury.
