Aaron Fentress of The Oregonian has reported that the Portland Trail Blazers will not renew the contracts of assistant coaches Roy Rogers, Chris Fleming, and Ryan Gomes, citing NBA sources.
Rogers was hired in 2021 as part of head coach Chauncey Billups’ initial coaching staff. Rogers had previously worked as an assistant coach for seven different NBA teams over a period of close to 20 years. He followed Billups to Portland from the LA Clippers coaching staff, where he and Billups both worked as assistants. Rogers’ primary responsibility in Portland was overseeing the defense.
Fleming was hired by the Blazers in June 2024.
