Portland Trail Blazers power forward Meyers Leonard says he will be back in uniform for Saturday's game versus the Los Angeles Lakers, according to The Columbian's Erik Gundersen.

The team has listed the 7-foot-1 Leonard as probable.

Leonard has missed the last seven games with a dislocated shoulder he suffered Nov. 11 against the San Antonio Spurs. He was averaging 8.6 points and 4.4 rebounds in 26.6 minutes per game as the starting power forward at the time. Valued for his a floor-stretching potential, the 23-year-old is only 8-of-31 from beyond the arc this season, a 25.8 percent success rate.

The Blazers have also listed backup center Chris Kaman as doubtful for Saturday. The 13-year veteran has only played in three games this season.
