Matthews has received the all clear to play from the Blazers' medical staff after his recent practice participation was limited due to an irregular heartbeat, The Columbian reports. "They're still just monitoring everything that I'm doing they have a heart rate tracker on me," he said Monday before showing the monitor to the media. "Everything's been good so far. Another test is tomorrow, I went through everything today in practice for the first time."

Analysis:

Since initially capping his reps last Thursday, including absences the first two days, Matthews reported Monday that "everything's been good so far," as he eases back into a regular workload. The issue emerged and waned for a second consecutive preseason, which is worrisome from a fantasy perspective, if the same was to occur during the regular season slate. Nevertheless, the concern is nearly behind him, allowing him to match the Blazers' fellow starters with 20-to-25 minutes of court time in Tuesday's exhibition opener.
