Toumani Camara Is Emerging As A Two-Way Star For Trail Blazers
Cyro Asseo breaks down Toumani Camara’s career night in the Portland Trail Blazers’ 135–118 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on February 9, 2026—and why this performance signals a real leap, not a fluke.
Camara erupted for 30 points on 10-of-12 shooting, drilling 8-of-10 from three, while still delivering his usual defensive impact. Long viewed as a high-end stopper, he’s now forcing defenses to account for him as a legitimate offensive weapon.
This video dives into:
Camara’s 30-point explosion and shot profile vs Philadelphia
How his perimeter shooting has changed defensive coverages
Why 2025–26 represents a true second breakout after All-Defense honors
His evolving role as a connector and secondary playmaker
The impact of Tiago Splitter’s uptempo system
Why his 4-year, $82M extension already looks like a steal
With Portland firmly in the Play-In mix, Camara’s two-way growth may be the most important development of the Blazers’ season.

Saw him during the summer league. Was so annoyed when the suns tossed him in the deal with Portland. They truly had no idea what they traded lol
