Donovan Clingan

The Trail Blazers are not expected to trade Donovan Clingan.

Portland made a notable trade for Ja Morant on Monday. Both him and Damian Lillard will look to connect with Clingan at the rim next season.

Donovan Clingan scored 13 points (6-10 FG, 1-2 3PT) and grabbed 10 rebounds in Portland's 122-110 win over Sacramento on Sunday.

Clingan posted his fourth consecutive double-double - and his 37th of the season - to end the year on a high note. The second-year center averaged career-highs in points (12.1), rebounds (11.6), assists (2.1), and blocks (1.7) this season. He averaged a double-double in every month except October and will be a key component for the Blazers heading into their play-in game against the Suns on Tuesday.

Donovan Clingan finished with 18 points (6-13 FG, 3-6 3PT, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, and two blocks in Monday's overtime loss to the Nuggets.

After a few down performances recently, Clingan was back to business Monday night. The second-year big has now recorded 13 double-doubles in 22 games dating back to the All-Star break. In that timeframe, Clingan has averaged 13.1 points, 11.9 rebounds, and 2.2 blocks while shooting 50.5% from the field overall.

Donovan Clingan posted a near double-double for the Trailblazers Friday night, grabbing 17 rebounds and chipping in six points (2-9 FG, 0-1 3PT, 2-4 FT) while also blocking one shot in a 100-93 loss to the Mavericks.

Fantasy Impact

Clingan continues a modest stretch on both ends of the floor, finishing with six or more points and 12 or more rebounds in each of his last five games. The center remains one of the more stable options on both ends of the floor in the Portland lineup, averaging 12.3 points, 1.7 blocks, and 11.8 rebounds per game to go along with a usage rate of 16.4% so far this season.

Clingan recorded a season-high seven blocks in just 24 minutes Monday, adding 15 rebounds in Portland's blowout win over the Nets — 7 points (3-of-10 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs) to complete the line.

Fantasy Impact

The shooting was rough at 30 percent, but seven blocks and 15 rebounds in under half a game's worth of minutes is the kind of defensive performance that makes him one of the more unique fantasy assets in the league right now.
