• Trail Blazers' Yang Hansen: Fails to impress in spot start

  10H ago • By RotoWire

  Hansen closed with four points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists across 19 minutes during Sunday's 119-96 loss to Memphis. Donovan Clingan (leg) and Robert Williams (illness) were both unavailable Sunday, which allowed Hansen to claim his first career start. However, the rookie first-rounder didn't make a big impact in the box score, and he also got into foul trouble with five of them. Portland is likely to evaluate Clingan and Williams on a day-to-day basis, meaning Hansen's stay in the first unit could be short-lived.

• Trail Blazers' Yang Hansen: Starting Sunday

  14H ago • By RotoWire

  Hansen is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game in Memphis. Hansen will draw the first start of his career with both Donovan Clingan (leg) and Robert Williams (illness) unavailable, so at the very least, he should be working with minutes in the mid-20s Sunday evening. Joining him in the first unit will be Sidy Cissoko, Deni Avdija, Jerami Grant and Toumani Camara.

• Trail Blazers' Yang Hansen: Notches eight points

  14D ago • By RotoWire

  Hansen notched eight points (3-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one block across 18 minutes during Sunday's 122-95 loss to the Thunder. With Robert Williams sitting out for rest, Hansen saw a handful of minutes as the backup center Sunday. He wasn't shy and attempted six triples, but he didn't find much success. Until the rookie can log minutes consistently, he will remain mostly a stash option in dynasty formats.

• Trail Blazers' Yang Hansen: Scores nine points in return

  19D ago • By RotoWire

  Hansen notched nine points (4-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one block over 13 minutes during Tuesday's 127-110 loss to the Suns. Hansen rejoined the home club after a stint with the Rip City Remix, a trend that has already happened a few times this season. Hansen has become a crowd favorite, drawing cheers whenever he takes the floor. Donovan Clingan's job is safe, but once Hansen becomes a full-time player, he'll serve as an excellent backup.

• Trail Blazers' Yang Hansen: Recalled from G League

  21D ago • By RotoWire

  The Trail Blazers recalled Hansen from the G League's Rip City Remix on Monday. It's unclear how long the rookie first-rounder will stay with the NBA club. Hansen has averaged just 5.8 minutes per game through his first five appearances for Portland, so the Trail Blazers are likely to send him back to Rip City when they want him to get more action.
