Brings defense in return
Clingan (lower leg) recorded three points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, three blocks, three assists and one steal across 22 minutes Sunday in the Trail Blazers' 136-131 win over the Warriors.
Análise
Portland plugged Clingan back into the starting five after he had missed the previous three contests due to a left lower leg contusion, but he wasn't asked to handle heavy minutes while interim head coach Tiago Splitter occasionally turned to either Sidy Cissoko or Jerami Grant to serve as small-ball centers when Clingan and top backup Robert Williams were off the court. Clingan was still able to make an impact in the defensive categories and on the glass during his time on the floor, but he continued to remain relatively uninvolved on offense. He's maintaining a modest 15 percent usage rate for the season and has reached double figures in scoring in just eight of his 22 appearances.

Will play Sunday
Clingan (leg) is good to go for Sunday's game versus the Warriors, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.
Análise
Clingan is set to return from a three-game absence, which could result in Jerami Grant heading back to the second unit. There will also be fewer minutes available for Robert Williams, Duop Reath and Yang Hansen.

Iffy for Sunday
Clingan (lower leg) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Warriors.
Análise
Clingan will look to snap a three-game absence due to a lower leg contusion. If the second-year center is cleared to play, Kris Murray is expected to slide back to the second unit. Over his last five appearances, Clingan has averaged 9.4 points, 10.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 blocks in 23.8 minutes per contest.

Could return Sunday
Clingan (leg) is trending toward being available for Sunday's game against the Warriors, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
Análise
Clingan has missed the Trail Blazers' last three games due to a lower leg contusion, but there is optimism that the second-year center will be cleared to return Sunday. Kris Murray would likely revert to a bench role if Clingan is given the green light to play against Golden State.

Ruled out for Thursday
Clingan (leg) won't play in Thursday's game against the Pelicans.
Análise
Thursday will mark a third straight absence for Clingan, whose next chance to return comes Sunday against the Warriors. With Robert Williams (illness) and Yang Hansen (face) iffy for Thursday, Duop Reath could be thrust into a heavy workload at center.
