Deandre Ayton Questionable for Trail Blazers’ Game Against Pistons on January 6th Due to Rest
Deandre Ayton is currently listed as questionable for the Portland Trail Blazers’ upcoming game against the Detroit Pistons on January 6th. The reason for his uncertain status is due to rest. This comes after a recent stretch of games where Ayton has been performing consistently. The team will assess his readiness closer to game time.
What It Means
If Deandre Ayton cannot play, it could impact the Trail Blazers significantly. He has been averaging 14.2 points and 10.1 rebounds per game this season. His field goal percentage stands at 56.9%, making him a key player in their lineup.
The team may need to rely more on Donovan Clingan and Robert Williams III in his absence. Clingan averages 5.5 points per game, while Williams contributes 6.8 points per game. Both players have seen limited minutes compared to Ayton, so stepping up would be crucial if he sits out.
