Trail Blazers guard Blake Wesley has suffered a fracture to the fifth metatarsal bone in his right foot and is out indefinitely, according to the team. The Blazers added that Wesley’s recovery timeline will be determined at a later date.
Wesley signed a one-year deal with the Trail Blazers this summer. With Scoot Henderson out due to a hamstring tear, the former Spur has played in each of Portland’s first six games, averaging career highs in points (6.0), rebounds (2.3), assists (3.2), steals (1.7) in 16.3 minutes per night.
The former 25th overall pick in the 2022 draft played the first three seasons of his career with San Antonio before being traded to Washington this offseason. He was subsequently bought out by the Wizards and signed with the Blazers as a free agent.
With Wesley out, rookie Caleb Love could be in line for additional playing time. The undrafted guard has appeared in two games for Portland, averaging 5.0 points and 2.5 assists in 9.5 minutes per contest.
In addition to missing Wesley and Henderson, the Blazers are playing without Damian Lillard, who will spend the entire 2025/26 season recovering from an Achilles tear.
I told you all to waive this guy and look it would have helped him out in life in a way
Waive Cissoko and Wesley
Sign E Bates and Tyler Smith to two way contracts
Trade Holiday and Grant for expiring contracts and picks. Waive the expiring contracts.
Sign James Johnson
Develop the young guys and get a good pick
PG. Henderson SG. Sharpe SF. Avdija PF. Camara C. Clingan
Henderson needs to start to be able to develop right. Stop playing games Portland. I bet Henderson can’t stand Lillard for all the drama
Oof. A lot of injuries already. Trailblazers have horrible luck.
