Trail Blazers' Toumani Camara: Questionable with illness
Rotowire
Camara (illness) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Magic.
After missing Tuesday's win over the Heat with an illness, Camara's game status against Orlando remains uncertain. Given the nature of Camara's ailment, the team will likely wait until closer to Thursday's tipoff to update his designation. If the 24-year-old is unavailable for Portland, the Blazers would figure to lean on Deni Avdija from the first unit and give Scoot Henderson extra playing time.

Trail Blazers' Toumani Camara: Posts 17 points in defeat
Rotowire
Camara closed with 17 points (7-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-6 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 30 minutes during Saturday's 125-103 loss to the Rockets.
Camara bounced back after a rare scoreless performance against the Clippers, which was preceded by his best scoring total of the season against the Nets. Camara registered numbers in every statistical category and assumed a larger role amid struggles from Portland's backcourt and Deandre Ayton's (back) absence. Deni Avdija (ankle) was also sidelined, and he represents Camara's biggest threat to retaining a first-unit role.

Trail Blazers' Toumani Camara: Scores 23 points, fills stat sheet
Rotowire
Camara recorded 23 points (7-21 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 132-114 loss to the Nets.
Camara didn't have his best shooting performance and needed 21 shots to score 23 points, but fantasy managers will gladly overlook those efficiency issues if he stuffs the stat sheet as he did Tuesday. He's been playing at a high level since the calendar flipped to 2025. In seven January outings, Camara is averaging 14.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.9 blocks across 35.0 minutes per contest.
Camara closed Wednesday's 119-100 victory over the Pelicans with 15 points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals across 29 minutes.
Camara filled the box score for the Blazers on Wednesday, continuing to be a steady presence on the defensive side of the floor with a game-high three steals. Over his last 10 outings, Camara has averaged 11.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.2 threes in 33.0 minutes. The 24-year-old forward is a relatively low-end fantasy option in most formats, but Camara should remain entrenched into a spot in Portland's starting lineup in the future, especially as long as Matisse Thybulle (ankle) remains out of action.

The second-year pro has been slightly inconsistent as a scorer thus far, though he is on pace to surpass his numbers from last year through 32 regular-season appearances. Over his last five outings, Camara has averaged 8.2 points and 8.2 rebounds across 32.8 minutes per contest.

Trail Blazers' Toumani Camara: Stuffs stat sheet Sunday
Rotowire
Camara had 14 points (5-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 32 minutes during Sunday's 116-109 loss to the Suns.
Camara showed the injury he sustained earlier this month against the Jazz is no longer an issue. This 14-point effort was his best scoring output since his 17-point output against the Mavericks on Dec. 1. Camara has been a regular starter for Portland this season, but he has low-end fantasy upside due to his secondary role in the offensive scheme. He's averaging 9.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game since the beginning of December while logging 28.8 minutes per contest.

Trail Blazers' Toumani Camara: Cleared to play Sunday
Rotowire
Camara (foot) is listed as available for Sunday's game against the Lakers.
Camara is good to go after initially being listed as doubtful for the contest. The 24-year-old sustained a foot injury during Friday's loss to the Jazz after playing only eight minutes, but that won't stop him from playing Sunday. Camara has started in all 23 of his regular-season appearances thus far, though it is unclear if he'll operate under a minutes restriction against the Lakers.

Camara left Friday's loss to the Jazz after only eight minutes and was initially listed as doubtful for Sunday's contest.

Trail Blazers' Toumani Camara: Doubtful for Sunday
Rotowire
Camara (foot) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Lakers.
Camara injured his right foot in the first quarter of Friday's 140-99 loss to the Jazz and has been diagnosed with a sprain, although the doubtful tag suggests his chances of playing are slim. In Camara's likely absence, Deni Avdija will likely step into the Trail Blazers' starting lineup while Kris Murray and Rayan Rupert will see an uptick in playing time off the bench.

Trail Blazers' Toumani Camara: Getting imaging on right foot
Rotowire
Portland head coach Chauncey Billups said after Friday's 140-99 loss to the Jazz that Camara will undergo an MRI on his right foot, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports. He finished the contest with zero points (0-4 FG, 0-4 3Pt), one assist and one steal in eight minutes before injuring his foot late in the first quarter.
The results of the MRI should help determine Camara's recovery time, and his potential absence could open the door for Deni Avdija, Kris Murray and Rayan Rupert to step into elevated roles. An update on Camara's status should come Saturday, but for the time being, his status for Sunday's game against the Lakers would seem to be in doubt.
