Portland Trail Blazers Sign James Bouknight

The Milwaukee Bucks have signed veteran wing Justise Winslow to an Exhibit 10 contract, reuniting him with former Portland Trail Blazers teammate Damian Lillard. Winslow, who spent last season in the G League, aims to revitalize his NBA career after being the 10th overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft. Meanwhile, the Portland Trail Blazers waived guard James Bouknight just one day after signing him to an Exhibit 10 deal, opting instead to assign him to their G League affiliate, Rip City Remix, where he is eligible for a bonus if he remains for 60 days. Bouknight's tenure with the Blazers is marked by underwhelming performance and off-court issues, including multiple arrests for driving while impaired. With his release, Portland's roster is now down to 20 players ahead of the regular season. Bouknight's career has been hampered by injuries and a lack of development during his time with the Charlotte Hornets, leading to his current situation.
