According to head coach Chauncey Billups, Clingan hurt his ankle. They don't know how bad it is yet, but any time missed is disappointing for him. Clingan had started to see an increase in minutes as of late. He had eclipsed 22 minutes of playing time in each of the last three games.

Donovan Clingan is averaging 5.6 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocks on 53.7% shooting from the field in 31 games with the Trail Blazers.

Trail Blazers rookie center Donovan Clingan exited Portland’s matchup with Brooklyn early on Tuesday night due to an ailment. Now, Portland has announced that the 7-foot-2 big man has incurred a mild sprained left ankle.

The Portland Trail Blazers will be without their rookie center, Donovan Clingan, for a while. The Blazers will re-evaluate their rookie center in a week after he suffered a mild left ankle sprain on Tuesday night against the Brooklyn Nets.
