Trail Blazers Recall Rookie Center Yang Hansen Ahead of Home Back-to-Back
The recall positions the 7-foot-1 first-round pick for possible minutes during the back-to-back.
Overview
- Portland announced the move on November 17 after Hansen completed a two-game stint with the Rip City Remix.
- Hansen posted 8 points and 13 rebounds in his G League debut, then followed with 21 points, 9 rebounds and 3 blocks in his second game.
- He is available for Tuesday’s home game against the Suns at the Moda Center, though his place in the rotation remains uncertain.
- The rookie has not appeared in an NBA game since October 31 after a run of DNP-CDs behind Donovan Clingan, Robert Williams III and Duop Reath.
- Observers note the second night against the Bulls could present an opportunity if Portland manages Williams’ workload, while the Remix do not play again until November 23.
