The Portman Trail Blazers have completed their 18-man roster by signing 24-year-old Jason Kent to a two-way contract. This move fills the spot left open after waving Javante Cook. Kent joins as a promising 3&D forward straight from the team's G-League affiliate. Kent earned his chance with the Rip City remix through a local tryout after going undrafted last year. In his first pro season, he quickly adapted and showed real potential on both ends of the floor. His inspiring rise from trial player to NBA roster member has fans buzzing. All three of Portland's two-way signees, Kent, Caleb Love, and Chris Youngblood are the same age, signaling a deliberate strategy for young talent with specific skills. In 25 gains with the remix, mostly as a starter, Kent put up 12.4 points, 4.8 rebounds,

1:00and 1.2 assists. Per gain. He shot 48% from the field, and 40% from three-point range. Meanwhile, the Blazers sit 10th in the West at 29 wins and 33 losses, pushing for playing spots. Kent could contribute defensively, but expect him to split time mostly with the remix down the stretch. This DNN story is thanks to our sponsor details in the description. Layback. Press play.
