Despite falling short of a repeat championship in Las Vegas in 2023, the Portland Trail Blazers Summer League squad showed glimpses of what we might see when the first ball is next tipped in October.
Eight players who represented the franchise in Nevada are tied to the Blazers in 2023-24 with Jeenathan Williams potentially the ninth, if his contract is guaranteed before August 1.
Scoot Henderson, Shaedon Sharpe, Kris Murray, Jabari Walker, Rayan Rupert, Keon Johnson, Ibou Badji and John Butler Jr. could all play home games at the Moda Center in 2023-24. Some might also spend time with Portland’s newly minted G-League affiliate, the Rip City Remix, up at the University of Portland campus.
