The Portland Trail Blazers could be squaring off against the surprisingly solid Toronto Raptors without as many as seven players, according to the club's PR team.

After being a late scratch against the Oklahoma City Thunder due to illness, center Donovan Clingan has seen his status upgraded to a still-dubious questionable ahead of the Tuesday clash.

The 7-foot-2 University of Connecticut product has thrived in his second pro season for Portland so far. Through 19 games (all starts) with the 8-12 Trail Blazers, the 21-year-old has been averaging 10.2 points on .493/.629/.811 shooting splits, 10.0 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.5 blocks and 0.7 steals a night.

Portland finds itself in something of an extended slump, the longer it plays without Holiday. The club has gone 1-6 in the two weeks it's played without its six-time All-Defensive Teamer.

The Trail Blazers' Latest Failure

In a 123-115 defeat against the 20-1 Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday, interim head coach Tiago Splitter started Sidy Cissoko in Holiday's stead. He scored five points on 1-of-5 shooting from the floor (1-of-4 from distance) and 2-of-2 shooting from the free throw line, pulled down two rebounds, dished out one dime and blocked a shot, while registering a +7 plus-minus.

Without Holiday or Henderson (or Lillard), and with the recently-extended Shaedon Sharpe shifted back to a bench role by Splitter, Portland's backcourt has been incredibly thinned out of late. Against a club like Oklahoma City — and its defensively inclined guards and perimeter pieces — the healthy Trail Blazers guards stood little chance.

Toronto has been one of the happy surprises of the 2025-26 NBA season, and is off to a blistering 14-7 start — good for the No. 4 seed in the wide-open Eastern Conference. They could prove a formidable foe.
