Joel Freeland (knee) is a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup with the Warriors.

He's been sidelined since early February and the Blazers would love to work him back into the rotation before the playoffs begin. After two straight days of 4-on-4 work during practice, there's a good chance we'll see him play on Sunday or at least Wednesday's season finale.

Joel Freeland went through a contact practice on Tuesday and he's hopeful to return for one of the Blazers' final two regular season games.

"I felt pretty good, I was moving pretty well," Freeland said. He's missed 26 games and will undoubtedly be eased into the rotation, in all likelihood taking a few minutes away from Thomas Robinson.

Trail Blazers big man Joel Freeland (MCL sprain) doesn't expect to return during the regular season.

Freeland hopes to be healthy in time for the playoffs, so he won't be able to help out while LaMarcus Aldridge recovers from his bruised back. He was averaging a solid 3.3 points, 3.9 rebounds and 0.4 blocks in just 14 minutes per game before hurting himself.

Blazers forward Joel Freeland (sprained MCL) sought a second opinion from a specialist on Tuesday, but he is still "nowhere near returning."

The 27-year-old has been out three weeks and he initially had a 4-8 week timetable, so it's not surprising to hear that he's still out indefinitely. The Blazers hope that he can appear in a few regular season games and enter the playoffs at full strength, which means that he's irrelevant in fantasy leagues.

Joel Freeland suffered an MCL sprain to his right knee on Tuesday and is expected to miss four-to-six weeks of action.

Robin Lopez sees another boost, while Meyers Leonard should get respectable minutes off the Blazers bench. They're the only NBA team to use the same starting lineup in every game this season, but their bench is becoming a bit thin.

Joel Freeland suffered a right knee injury against the Thunder on Tuesday and went to the locker room.

His injury did not look good and he could not put any weight on his right foot while getting help to the locker room. Unfortunately, there's a good chance Freeland is looking at a long time off the court. Meyers Leonard should get more playing time as the backup center.

Joel Freeland used heat packs on his back during Sunday's game but he still finished with four points and five rebounds in 14 minutes of action.

Portland's primary backup big man has dealt with back pain for a while now, but he's missed only one game all season (Nov. 5). Terry Stotts' remarkably consistent rotations have limited Freeland to around 12-18 minutes in every game this season, which should help keep any back injuries at bay.

Joel Freeland (hip) had four points, four rebounds, one steal and two blocks in 17 minutes during his return to action on Friday.

The second-year PF/C is playing unchallenged minutes behind Robin Lopez, and he's making the most of it. Meyers Leonard, who averaged 17 minutes per game last year, has fallen out of Terry Stotts' rotation thanks in large part to Freeland's emergence.

Joel Freeland returned to action on Friday November 8.

Joel Freeland will play in Friday night's game against the Kings.

We went through practice on Thursday and was expected to play. The Blazers could use him as a backup to Robin Lopez against DeMarcus Cousins.

Joel Freeland (hip) practiced on Thursday after being limited for the past few days.

Terry Stotts is once again keeping his bench on a short leash this season, but Freeland is playing 14 minutes per game. Mo Williams and Dorell Wright are the only reserves getting more action, and deep-league owners should keep Freeland in their peripheral vision.

Joel Freeland (hip) did some light work at practice on Wednesday.

The team held him out of Tuesday's game even after he practiced on Monday, so there's not much to this story. The Blazers were mauled at home by Dwight Howard and even had to play LaMarcus Aldridge at center, so they'd like him back for Friday's game.

Joel Freeland (hip) will not play against the Rockets on Tuesday.

He was back at practice on Monday, so it's a mild surprise that the team would hold him out. Meyers Leonard was beat out by Freeland for the backup center spot and will get a chance in the rotation against Dwight Howard and Co.

Joel Freeland (left hip) was at practice on Monday and is listed as day-to-day.

He sustained a left hip strain on Saturday and it would appear he's escaped any sort of serious injury. Freeland is going to back up Robin Lopez, but he hasn't done much in his two-year career to warrant any sort of consideration in all fantasy leagues while Lopez is healthy.

Joel Freeland suffered a left hip strain on Saturday and is listed as day-to-day.

He lasted just eight minutes on Friday after averaging 17.0 minutes per game in the first two outings. Freeland beat out Meyers Leonard for the backup center spot, but he still doesn't have value in almost any league, especially considering the durability of Robin Lopez.

Joel Freeland looks to have won the No. 2 center spot in Portland's rotation.

He hasn't looked good on offense at all, making just 29.2 percent from the field in his last five games. Freeland is still way off the radar in almost any league.

Joel Freeland (finger) was back at practice on Monday.

He received an X-ray on Sunday and since he's already back on the court, Freeland's hand seems to be fine. He didn't have a wrap or anything on the injury and could play on Wednesday.

Joel Freeland will have an X-ray on his right hand to check for a fracture.

He sat out of practice on Sunday and said he's hand has been "throbbing." Freeland provides some depth for the Blazers up front, but he's not likely to play more than his 9.4 minutes per game from last season.

Joel Freeland (back) had nine points, five rebounds and one block as the Blazers lost at home to the Suns on Wednesday.

He had four points and five boards in his preseason debut on Monday, and these two lines should guide fantasy owners' expectations for the regular season. He belongs on the waiver wire. At least his back injury isn't serious.

Joel Freeland (back), LaMarcus Aldridge (quad) and Mo Williams (ankle) are all questionable for Wednesday's preseason game against the Suns.

Nicolas Batum (concussion), C.J. McCollum (foot) and Earl Watson (calf) have all been ruled out with their injuries.
