Iffy for Thursday
Contrary to the Trail Blazers' injury report before their previous game at Dallas, they have listed Williams with a sprain to his right ankle instead of his left. Either way, he is questionable for a second straight game, the first resulting in his absence against Dallas.

Added to injury report
Banton is back on the Trail Blazers' injury report with a hip contusion, which had already kept him out for two games. It is worth noting that same hip contusion did not stop him from playing in the Blazers' previous game at Dallas, where he logged three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 FT, 0-2 3Pt), three assists and one rebound on Monday.

Three points, three assists in return
Banton had missed the Trail Blazers' previous two games with a left hip contusion. He took back a spot in head coach Chauncey Billups' rotation in his return, but Banton's playing time will likely be limited while all of Anfernee Simons, Shaedon Sharpe and Scoot Henderson are available out of the backcourt.
