On Monday night against Indiana, the Portland Trail Blazers will have point guard Scoot Henderson and center Deandre Ayton available, but forward Jerami Grant will not play.
Ayton will play for the first time since hurting his right index finger against Memphis on November 8. His return coincides with the absence of backup centers Robert Williams III (concussion protocol) and Donovon Clingan (knee).
Henderson missed three games due to a back injury after suffering a contusion to his left quad.
Deni Avdija will probably return to the starting lineup as a result of Grant’s absence.
Kris Murray (sternum) and Matisse Thybulle (ankle sprain) are also out.
