Trail Blazers Officially Recall Yang Hansen! Scored 15+9+5 in G League Today, May Play Against Pacers Tomorrow

On March 8 Beijing time, the Trail Blazers officially announced the recall of Yang Hansen. According to previous reports, his status for tomorrow's game against the Pacers is questionable (50% chance of playing). In today's G League game against the Valley Suns, Yang Hansen played 23 minutes, shooting 6-for-9, scoring 15 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 block, and 1 steal, with 5 turnovers and 5 fouls.

Yang Hansen was elbowed in the face with about 10 minutes left in the game. Although he was not seriously injured, perhaps considering he already had 5 fouls, he did not play again in the final 10 minutes.

The Trail Blazers' newly signed two-way contract guard Yang Brad performed excellently, scoring a game-high 25 points along with 10 rebounds and 5 assists. The Mix had six players scoring in double figures, with another two-way contract player Love contributing 18 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists. The Valley Suns trailed by 9 points and tied the game in the final less than 3 minutes. Cook made one free throw at 8.7 seconds, helping the Mix lead 126-125. Suns youngster Embahard II missed a buzzer-beater fadeaway jump shot, and the Mix narrowly won.

Whether Yang Hansen will get playing time upon returning to the Trail Blazers remains unknown. After all, on the latest injury report, Clingan and Rui are both listed as healthy and available. Following previous惯例, Yang Hansen is the team's third center, currently not in the regular rotation, and is expected to only play during garbage time.

So far this season, Yang Hansen has played 37 games for the Trail Blazers, averaging 7.4 minutes per game, contributing 2.2 points, 1.5 rebounds, and 0.6 assists.
