Hyunjung Lee, Trail Blazers Sign Camp Deal

Lee Hyun-jung gets a training-camp chance with Portland after signing a one-year Exhibit 10 deal that can lead to a G League bonus or two-way contract.

  • On Monday, South Korean sharpshooter Lee Hyun-jung officially signed a one-year, non-guaranteed Exhibit 10 contract with the Portland Trail Blazers, his agency Epic Sports announced.
  • Lee, a former Davidson Wildcats standout, seeks to revive his NBA career following a notable Summer League performance two months ago with the San Antonio Spurs.
  • Known for his quick release and deep range, Lee became the first player in Davidson history to join the prestigious 50-40-90 club as a sophomore, averaging 13.5 points.
  • Epic Sports noted the deal is "an important starting point," as Lee could earn a two-way contract or join Portland's G League affiliate, Rip City Remix, if he misses the final roster.
  • Before heading to Portland, Lee will represent South Korea at the Asian Games in Japan starting Thursday, aiming to become the second Korean player to reach the NBA following 7-foot-3 center Ha Seung-jin.
