That’s a wrap on season two of the Blazers’ G League affiliate. The Rip City Remix closed out their second season over the weekend with a two-game road series against the Santa Cruz Warriors.
Checking in to see what’s happening with Bryce McGowens, Henri Drell and Portland’s G League franchise. It hasn’t been the most pleasant month for the Portland Trail Blazers, so it’s a great time to check in on their G League affiliate, the Rip City Remix.
A rough night all around for the Blazers franchise, as the Remix’s two top performers combined for 14 turnovers. For the second straight game, the Rip City Remix came up short against the San Diego Clippers, falling 137-121 to fall 0-2 on the season.
The training camp invite is waived before training camp. The Portland Trail Blazers have waived wing Henri Drell days before training camp, according to Sports Illustrated’s Alex Kirschenbaum.
The all-time list of NBA All-Stars is obviously long, and notably distinguished. However, there are some players — for various reasons — who the casual, or even most-dedicated, NBA fans can't recall having earned All-Star nods.
Just days ahead of the start of team training camp, the Portland Trail Blazers have cut Exhibit 10 training camp wing Henri Drell, according to the league's official transactions log.
On paper, three Portland Trail Blazers head into the team's training camp next week competing for the club's 15th and final standard roster spot. Fourth-year small forward Dalano Banton is on a partially guaranteed $2.2 million veteran's minimum deal, with just $217,533 of that sum guaranteed.
Free agent second-year forward Henri Drell has inked a one-year, non-guaranteed Exhibit 10 training camp contract with the Portland Trail Blazers, according to Sean Highkin of The Rose Garden Report.
NBA free agency has almost entirely concluded, as most of the remaining free agents will remain unsigned. Some teams enter the NBA season with an open roster spot for flexibility purposes, but many have already occupied all of their standard and two-way deals.
The Chicago Bulls have signed forward Henri Drell to a two-way NBA contract, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania. To make room for Drell among their depth group, the Bulls reportedly waived Justin Lewis.
