Trail Blazers Announce 2025 Summer League Roster Featuring Yang Hansen, Keeshawn Barthelemy

The Portland Trail Blazers have announced their roster for the 2025 NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, featuring rookie center Yang Hansen, who was acquired via draft rights trade from the Memphis Grizzlies, and former Oregon guard Keeshawn Barthelemy. Barthelemy, known for his shooting accuracy, is expected to help address the Blazers' need for improved three-point shooting following last season's league-low ranking and the trade of guard Anfernee Simons. The roster also includes NBA-experienced guards James Bouknight and DJ Carton, with assistant coach Ronnie Burrell leading the team. Notably absent is center Donovan Clingan, projected to start next season after Deandre Ayton was bought out and signed with the Los Angeles Lakers. The Blazers' Summer League squad aims to develop young talent and evaluate potential G League contributors like Barthelemy, who will benefit from playing alongside Hansen, recognized for his court vision and passing. Meanwhile, Ayton looks to revitalize his career with the Lakers under a coaching staff experienced in player development and flexible contract options.
