TOUMANI Camara

Camara was durable in 2025-26, playing all 82 games for Portland. He averaged 33.3 minutes, 13.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.1 steals, 0.4 blocks and 1.8 turnovers per game. He shot 44.0 percent from the field, 37.0 percent from three and 70.8 percent from the free-throw line, with a true shooting mark of 57.8 percent. His usage rate sat at 16.0 percent, and his plus-minus for the season was plus-0.4. Those numbers made him a steady, high-minute piece of the Blazers rotation from start to finish.

Portland has played three games with Camara so far in 2026-27. On Oct. 7 against Golden State, a win, he scored 5 points with 1 rebound and 1 assist in 19.4 minutes, a minus-4.0 plus-minus. On Oct. 13 against Sacramento, also a win, he had 11 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists in 23.0 minutes, a plus-13.0 showing. On Oct. 16 against Golden State again, a loss, he put up 11 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists in 24.0 minutes with a minus-9.0 plus-minus. His minutes have climbed slightly game to game early on.

Camara's last-season game log shows a string of outings against San Antonio and others down the stretch. On April 10 against the Clippers, a win, he had 5 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists in 32.9 minutes. On April 12 against Sacramento, a win, he scored 15 points with 4 rebounds and 2 assists in 33.5 minutes. Against San Antonio, Portland split a four-game stretch with him on the floor: a win on April 21 (10 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist, plus-17.0) sandwiched between losses on April 19, 24, 26 and 28, including a minus-22.0 plus-minus on April 28 when he had 7 points and 8 rebounds in 33.4 minutes.

Camara is not on the injury report right now. There is no injury history on file for him, which lines up with his 82-game workload last season — he did not miss a single contest in 2025-26. For a team sorting out its rotation early in 2026-27, having Camara fully available is a straightforward plus, and his early-season minutes in Portland's first three games reflect that he is being used as a regular piece of the rotation without restriction.

Camara's name has come up in Northwest Division trade chatter this fall, though not as the direct subject. An Oct. 1 Northwest Notes roundup discussed the Blazers alongside Whitmore, Williams and the Nuggets. An earlier Northwest Notes piece on Sept. 25, reported by Jason Quick, covered Lillard, Wallace and Strawther in connection with the Jazz. Both items are general division notebooks rather than reports specifically about Camara's future in Portland, and nothing in them indicates any change to his roster spot.
