The Trail Blazers will sign Chris Youngblood to a two-way contract, agent Kashim Butler of KBA Sports tells ESPN’s Shams Charania (Twitter link).
The 24-year-old shooting guard was in training camp with Oklahoma City on an Exhibit 10 deal and earned a two-way contract prior to the start of the season. He appeared in 32 games with the Thunder, averaging 2.0 PPG in limited playing time, before being waived in early February after reaching his season limit of 50 games on the active roster.
Youngblood has spent the past few weeks playing for Oklahoma City Blue in the G League, where he posted 23.5 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists in 10 regular season games with .463/.327/.794 shooting splits.
Youngblood spent time with Kennesaw State, South Florida and Alabama during his college career and was named AAC co-Player of the Year in 2024.
Portland has a two-way opening after promoting Sidy Cissoko last month, so another move won’t be required before adding Youngblood to the roster.
