Camara appeared in all 82 games in 2025-26 — the only Portland player to do it, and one of just eighteen league-wide — while playing the fourth-most total minutes in the NBA. He averaged 13.4 points and 5.1 rebounds, and took All-Defensive Second Team honours in 2025. The job description is the whole point: he guards the other team's best perimeter player from baseline to baseline, every night, without the minutes ever coming down. Availability and assignment difficulty are the two things least visible in a box score, and he leads his team in both. A defender who never rests is worth more over 82 games than a better one who plays 60.
