Reath (back) is available for Friday's matchup with the Spurs. With Deandre Ayton (illness) and Robert Williams (reconditioning) sidelined, the Trail Blazers are thin at front court. Thus, Reath could see more minutes than usual providing depth at center. Donovan Clingan and Jabari Walker are the other available options.

Reath (back) is available for Friday's matchup with the Spurs. With Deandre Ayton (illness) and Robert Williams (reconditioning) sidelined, the Trail Blazers are thin at front court. Thus, Reath could see more minutes than usual providing depth at center. Donovan Clingan and Jabari Walker are the other available options.
Reath (back) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Spurs. Reath has been upgraded from doubtful to questionable Friday due to a lower back strain. Even if Reath is upgraded to available, he is only averaging 6.4 minutes across 13 appearances this season.
Reath (back) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Spurs. Reath was listed as doubtful for Sunday's matchup against the Lakers before being downgraded to out, so it looks as though he'll miss his second straight game. The team should have another update on his availability closer to tipoff.
Reath (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lakers. Reath is officially out after he was initially added to the team's injury report as doubtful due to back soreness. He logged 25 minutes in Portland's last matchup Friday against Utah, so it'll likely be up to Deandre Ayton and Jabari Walker to eat up extra minutes at center Sunday night.
Reath is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Lakers due to back soreness. Reath played a season-high 25 minutes in the 141-99 loss to the Jazz on Friday, posting eight points and five rebounds. The doubtful tag suggests the big man isn't likely to play Sunday, but his availability shouldn't affect many fantasy decisions. He's averaging only 6.4 minutes per game this season.
Reath finished Sunday's 121-82 loss to the Kings with 14 points (5-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, three steals and one block across 24 minutes. Though Deandre Ayton (back) sat out the season finale, Reath wasn't called upon to start at center, as the Trail Blazers instead moved Moses Brown up to the top unit. Brown ended up playing just 15 minutes, however, with Reath instead seeing the most usage of any Portland center. The 27-year-old rookie closed the 2023-24 campaign with averages of 9.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.3 three-pointers, 1.0 assists, 0.6 blocks and 0.5 steals in 17.9 minutes per game over 68 appearances while serving as Ayton's top backup for most of the season. Both Ayton and Reath are under contract for the upcoming season, but it's unclear if Portland will head into 2024-25 with Reath as the primary backup. Robert Williams is on Portland's books through 2025-26 and had been earmarked for the backup center role before he underwent season-ending surgery in November to reconstruct a torn ligament in his right knee. Williams is expected to be fully healthy in time for training camp, and he could push Reath back down to third on the depth chart.
Reath isn't in the starting five for Friday's game versus Miami, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports. DeAndre Ayton's return to action will send Reath back to the bench. Reath is averaging 4.6 points and 1.2 rebounds in 11.8 minutes across his last five appearances coming off the bench.
Reath ended Saturday's 114-111 loss to Denver with 24 points (9-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 26 minutes. Reath stepped into the starting lineup again amid Deandre Ayton's (elbow) absence, joining a crew of rookies in the first unit. The youthful combo almost pulled off a win against the short-handed Nuggets, and Reath was able to find space without Nikola Jokic's (hip) imposing presence. We will probably several different lineup configurations as Portland runs out the clock, and the team will likely explore Reath further as part of its future plans.
Reath has been confirmed as the starting center for Friday night's game against the Clippers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports. It was reported a few hours before tipoff that Reath was in line for the start, and it's since been made official. Reath should see plenty of opportunities to make an impact with Deandre Ayton (elbow) out of commission.
