This new record set by Clingan is just another accomplishment for the rookie early on in his career. While the Trail Blazers aren't likely to be that competitive for the remainder

Clingan surpassed one of the rookie records established by legend Bill Walton in the 1974-75 season. The Portland Trail Blazers have a defensive disruptor on their hands with center Donovan Clingan. The No. 7 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft is already making his impact felt, per the Blazers' social media.

Clingan broke the franchise record with his 16th consecutive game with a block on Friday when he pushed past Bill Walton (15). Shaquille O’Neal (23) is second all-time, followed by Alonzo Mourning (57).
