Micah Potter Brings Stretch Five Depth to Portland for 2026-27
newsroom · 32 min agoMicah Potter joins the Trail Blazers front court for 2026-27 after a 2025-26 season with Indiana. The 28-year-old center shot well from deep and from the line last year, and he is not on the injury report heading into the new season.
Who Portland Is Adding
Micah Potter comes into the 2026-27 season on the Trail Blazers roster wearing No. 11. He is a 6-9, 248-pound center out of Wisconsin, now in his fifth NBA season at age 28. Last season he played for Indiana, appearing in 47 games and averaging 19.3 minutes a night. He gives Portland another big man who can space the floor rather than just work around the rim. For a team building depth up front, a center who can shoot from range and from the line changes how a second unit can play. Portland now has him on the roster for the season ahead.
Last Season By The Numbers
In 47 games with Indiana in 2025-26, Potter averaged 9.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.3 blocks in 19.3 minutes per game. He also averaged 1.0 turnovers a night, a low number for a big man who handles the ball in pick-and-pop actions. His plus-minus sat at minus-2.6 for the season. Those are backup-center minutes with starter-level shooting numbers, and it is the shooting that stands out most from his time in Indiana. Portland fans evaluating what he brings should look at the shooting splits below before judging his overall fit up front.
The Shooting Profile
Potter shot 51.5 percent from the field, 42.3 percent from three-point range and 84.2 percent from the free-throw line last season with Indiana. His true shooting percentage was 67.9, an elite efficiency mark for any player at any position. His usage rate was 17.4 percent, meaning he was not a primary offensive option but made the most of the shots he did take. A center hitting over 42 percent from three on real volume is rare, and it is the headline number in his 2025-26 season. If that shooting translates to Portland's offense, he becomes a reliable floor-spacer off the bench.
Health Report
Potter is not on the injury report entering the 2026-27 season. There is no injury history on file for him. That is a clean bill of health as Portland's roster comes together for the year ahead. For a big man whose value is tied to being available and knocking down shots, staying off the injury list matters as much as any stat line. There is nothing in his recent medical record to flag for Trail Blazers fans tracking the roster ahead of the opener.
What Comes Next
Portland now heads into the 2026-27 season with Potter on the roster after his 2025-26 run with Indiana. His per-game numbers from last season, the 47 games played and the shooting splits, give a clear picture of what he offers off the bench: efficient scoring, low turnovers and a stretch shooting touch from a 6-9 frame. With no injury concerns reported, he projects as available depth at center as the season approaches. Fans will want to see whether that three-point shooting and free-throw touch carry over once he is wearing a Trail Blazers jersey in real games.
