Portland Trail Blazers' Deandre Ayton misses game vs Brooklyn Nets. Here's why

Deandre Ayton, the Portland Trail Blazers center, was about to return to the game lineup post not being able to attend 13 games due to tendinitis in his knee. The chilled weather paralyzing the Portland area very recently has led to a change in all of that.

Chauncey Billups, the Blazers coach, informed the reporters before the game that Ayton would be enough healthy to play the game in the case of him making it. Portland ended up winning 105-103 on the buzzer-beater of Anfernee Simon.

The erstwhile No. 1 all-inclusive draft pick is in his initial season with Portland post playing for five years in Phoenix. He is totaling 10.8 rebounds and 13.1 points throughout 24 games with the Blazers.

What prevented Deandre Ayton?

The in-house reporter of Blazers, Casey Holdahl informed about Ayton being trapped in his house because of an ice storm recently in the Portland region.

An ice sheet coming out of the neighborhood of Ayton, stopped him from reaching the area for the game on Wednesday night against the Brooklyn Nets, despite the team sending out members for helping him.

The fact that the efforts that he made have been lasting for hours is what made this scenario strange. Ayton who is 7-feet tall is a person who is considered one of the most athletic, with the complete resources of a billion-dollar-worth NBA team backing him, a whole day of additional warning and time to get things done, with him not getting on the road.

Ayton is in his initial season in Portland post a trade bringing him over from the Phoenix Suns, a team playing in a city where these things are not a problem. In 24 games, Ayton who is 25 years old has averaged 10.8 rebounds and 13.1 points, at the time of shooting 54.8 per cent from the field.
