Ready for Portland debut
Krejci (ankle) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against Phoenix.
Analysis
Krejci suffered a left ankle sprain shortly before being dealt from the Hawks to the Blazers, but he's evidently put the injury behind him. He'll presumably see playing time off the bench behind Shaedon Sharpe and Toumani Camara, though it remains to be seen how involved Krejci will be in his first appearance with Portland.

Traded to Portland
The Hawks traded Krejci (ankle) to the Trail Blazers on Sunday in exchange for Duop Reath (foot) and two future second-round picks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Analysis
Krejci started against the Rockets on Thursday, posting nine points (4-7 FG), four rebounds, one assist and a steal in 27 minutes, but he was in street clothes due to an ankle injury during Saturday's loss in Indiana. Like the last few days, his role has been inconsistent all season, and with Zaccharie Risacher (knee) healthy again and Corey Kispert coming over in a trade, Krejci was going to be blocked for playing time in Atlanta. While Portland has a ton of wing depth, the Trail Blazers don't have many knockdown shooters, so Krejci, who's shot at least 40 percent from deep in three straight seasons, could carve out a role as a specialist once he moves past his ankle issue.

Ruled out Saturday
Krejci (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis
Krejci was a late addition to the injury report Saturday due to a left ankle sprain, and he'll miss his first game due to an injury this season. His next opportunity to play will come Tuesday against the Heat. Luke Kennard and Corey Kispert are candidates for a slight bump in minutes due to Krejci being sidelined.

Late addition to injury report
Krejci is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Pacers due to a left ankle sprain.
Analysis
Krejci was a late addition to the injury report, which isn't a positive sign for his availability. The 25-year-old will likely be a game-time decision ahead of tipoff at 7:00 p.m. ET, and if he isn't cleared to suit up, Luke Kennard and Corey Kispert would be candidates for increased minutes.

Running with first unit
Krejci is starting Thursday's game against the Rockets, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.
Analysis
Krejci will join the starting lineup with Zaccharie Risacher (knee), Jalen Johnson (calf) and Onyeka Okongwu (mouth) all ruled out for Atlanta. Krjeci started five consecutive games for the Hawks earlier in January and averaged 5.4 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 steals in 21.8 minutes.
