Two-time All-Star point guard Jrue Holiday will miss at least the next week or so with a right calf strain. Two-time All-Defensive Team shooting guard\/small forward Matisse Thybulle has been out since Oct. 29 recovering from a left thumb ligament tear. Backup guard Blake Wesley remains shelved indefinitely thanks to a fractured right foot.  <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7c\">Nine-time All-Star point guard Damian Lillard, who tore his left Achilles tendon while still on the Milwaukee Bucks in last spring&#8217;s playoffs, has explicitly stated he&#8217;ll miss all of 2025-26 on the mend. As a small, aging guard (he&#8217;s 35), this is probably the most pragmatic plan of attack for the 6-foot-2 Weber State alum.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7f\">The Trail Blazers&#8217; increasingly unhappy health luck has muddied what had been a promising 2025-26 season start.
