Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons has been upgraded from “Out” to “Questionable” against the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday, as Blazers correspondant Casey Holdahl reports.
Anfernee Simons (ankle) has been upgraded to questionable but Jusuf Nurkic (calf), Justise Winslow (ankle) and Ryan Arcidiacono (back) remain out for tonight’s game versus the Pelicans.
Simons initially suffered the Grade 2 ankle sprain on February 14, so to see him this close to a return just two weeks later is surprising to say the least. While no specific timetable was given for Simons’ recovery, many anticipated an absence of 4-6 weeks, minimum.
