The Trail Blazers have officially signed rookie forward Andrew Carr, the team announced today in a press release.
While details of the deal weren’t revealed, reporting in June indicated that Carr would be signing a non-guaranteed Exhibit 10 contract with Portland. The expectation is that he’ll be waived before the regular season begins and then report to the Rip City Remix, the Blazers’ G League affiliate. If he spends at least 60 days with the Remix, he’ll earn a bonus worth up to $85,300.
Carr spent the last five college years playing college basketball, including two seasons with Delaware, two with Wake Forest, and a “super senior” season with Kentucky in 2024/25. The 6’9″ forward started 29 of 35 games he played for the Wildcats, averaging 10.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 1.7 assists in 24.0 minutes per contest, with a .544/.324/.748 shooting line.
Carr suited up for the Blazers’ Summer League team in Las Vegas in July. He played a modest role in five outings, averaging 3.0 points and 2.6 rebounds in 12.2 minutes per game while struggling with his shot (.375/.143/.500).
Portland had an open spot on its 21-man preseason roster, so no corresponding move was necessary to make room for Carr. The roster is now full.
