Claver (ankle) posted three points (1-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, and one assist in 26 minutes as Portland was pummeled Friday by Oklahoma City.

Claver left Wednesday's loss to the Lakers after tweaking his ankle injury, which has flared up at times during his rookie season. As long as Nicolas Batum remains out of the lineup due to his shoulder injury, Claver will slot into the starting lineup as the Blazers' small forward.
