Portland Trail Blazers Center Yang Hansen Out of NBA Summer League Game Due to Illness

Portland Trail Blazers center Yang Hansen will not be playing in today's NBA Summer League game against the Orlando Magic due to an illness, as announced by the team on social media. The Trail Blazers are scheduled to face the Magic in Las Vegas at 4 p.m. PDT. Yang is one of the few regular roster players from the Blazers participating in the July event, alongside two-way players Chris Youngblood and Jayson Kent. In their previous Summer League game, the Blazers suffered an 81-79 loss to the Phoenix Suns. Despite the defeat, Yang contributed 12 points, nine rebounds, four assists, and four turnovers in 26 minutes of play, shooting 5-10 from the field and 2-3 from beyond the arc. With Yang sidelined for today's game, fans will have to wait until Monday's matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves at 8 p.m. PDT to see him back in action.
