Blazers announce: Anfernee Simons (L Foot Inflammation) has been upgraded to questionable from doubtful for tonight’s game @ MIA. So Blazers could have Simons and Lillard tonight at 8:30 p.m. at FTX Arena (note the late starting time, but maybe, um, don’t be late?) – 2:51 PM

Oof. Watching it back Jerami Grant definitely took extra steps on the game-winner. Suns still shouldn’t have been in that position against a Blazers team missing Damian Lillard and Anfernee Simons though – 12:31 AM

Anfernee Simons, out Friday night at the Suns with foot inflammation, did some pregame drills. A good sign. pic.twitter.com/sCUfiLju1H – 9:04 PM

Also sounds like @Anfernee Simons might not be available tomorrow either, Chauncey Billups said the guard woke up Thursday “in a lot of pain.” – 8:34 PM
