They were unimpressive - AND that doesn’t take anything away from Portland’s defensive performance. Heck, Austin wasn’t any less bad than when they came here last year - and they won that time!

Weaver’s injury was to the same knee she injured last year. Payne and Müller’s injuries are both ACL injuries. All three players were primed for big roles in 2025. Sucks on so many levels. #BAONPDX

Yeah it might be rocky seas in the spring 😬 for what it's worth, those players have been out for most of the preseason, so the team has been practicing and playing without them already (theoretically)

Lassiter, Ortiz, and maybe Fory will all get some significant minutes Sunday - make of that what you will

Phil also confirms that Santiago Moreno, Jonathan Rodriguez, and Juan Mosquera are all out for Sunday (Mosquera might make the bench, but it's doubtful) #RCTID

True it’s hard to predict. With his age and pedigree I think he fits better, but Ayala’s upside looks to be sky high. I also would love to see him succeed. 2025 is a huge year for him.

For what it’s worth, if Phil ever decides to go full tactics-free and get allllll the attackers on at once, I’d see Ortiz being the best fit in a single pivot. That would be wild, tho.
