The Portland Trail Blazers have recalled forward Yang Hansen from their G League affiliate, the Rip City Remix. Hansen had been playing well in the G League, averaging 19.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks per game over his last two contests. However, barring any injuries to key Blazers players, Hansen is not expected to see significant playing time in the team's upcoming game against the Washington Wizards.

Why it matters

The Blazers have been dealing with some frontcourt injuries this season, so Hansen's recall could indicate a need for additional depth. His strong G League performance also suggests he may be making a case for more NBA minutes if opportunities arise.

The details

Hansen was sent down to the Rip City Remix, Portland's G League team, to get additional playing time and development. Over his last two games with the Remix, he put up impressive averages of 19.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks per game. However, with the Blazers' current roster healthy, Hansen is not expected to see significant minutes in the team's upcoming game against the Wizards.

  • Hansen was recalled from the G League on Saturday, March 28, 2026.
  • The Blazers play the Wizards on Sunday, March 29, 2026.
