Available to play
Clingan (illness) is available to play Saturday against the Hornets.
Analysis
Clingan was a true game-time call after missing Thursday's game against the Bulls. The second-year center is going to give it a go, and that means Robert Williams could be less involved for Portland.

Game-time decision Saturday
Trail Blazers interim head coach Tiago Splitter told reporters that Clingan (illness) "felt better" but is still considered a game-time decision for Saturday's game against the Hornets, Owen O'Connor of SI.com reports.
Analysis
Clingan will go through pregame shootaround, at which point the Trail Blazers' medical staff will have a better idea of whether the second-year center will be able to suit up for Saturday's matinee. Scoot Henderson entered the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Bulls and would likely remain in an elevated role if Clingan is not cleared to return.

Iffy for Saturday
Clingan (illness) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis
Clingan remains in jeopardy of sitting out after also missing Thursday's game against the Bulls. Another potential absence for Clingan on Saturday would likely result in an expanded role at center for Robert Williams, who would be a strong plug-and-play fantasy option in this case.

Not playing Thursday
Clingan (illness) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis
Clingan was added to Thursday afternoon's injury report due to an illness, which is severe enough for the second-year center to be sidelined against Chicago. Robert Williams (foot) and Yang Hansen (back) have both been cleared to play and should see more minutes off the bench while Scoot Henderson enters the starting lineup. Saturday against the Hornets is Clingan's next chance to play.

Dealing with illness
Clingan is questionable for Thursday's game against the Bulls due to an illness.
Analysis
Clingan was a late addition to the injury report, and that's not a great sign for his availability. Robert Williams (foot) is also questionable, so the Trail Blazers could be very thin up front. Meanwhile, rookie center Yang Hansen (back) is also questionable.

Another double-double in loss
Clingan had 11 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 16 rebounds, five assists, two blocks and three steals over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 124-121 loss to the Timberwolves.
Analysis
The second-year center went toe-to-toe with Rudy Gobert and held his own, with Clingan coming away with his 23rd double-double of the season. Six of them have come in 10 February games, averaging 15.0 points, 13.5 boards, 3.2 assists, 2.3 blocks and 1.9 threes while shooting 55.3 percent from the floor and a stunning 46.3 percent (19-for-41) from three-point range.

Posts strong double-double
Clingan had 23 points (9-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists, four blocks and one steal in 31 minutes during Sunday's 92-77 win over the Suns.
Analysis
Clingan put together a stellar all-around showing, tying Jerami Grant for the team lead in points while pacing the Blazers in rebounds. Clingan has now scored 23 points in two of his last three matchups and has recorded five double-doubles in nine February appearances.
