Blake Wesley: Career-low playing time in 2025-26
Brad Botkin - CBS Sports | May 8, 2026
Wesley produced no counting stats in one minute during Tuesday's 114-95 loss to the Spurs in Game 5 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
After landing a one-year deal with the Trail Blazers last offseason, Wesley struggled to carve out much of a role in 2025-26. Over 31 regular-season outings, the fourth-year guard averaged 4.8 points, 2.0 assists and 1.3 rebounds in a career-low 11.6 minutes per game. Whether it be with Portland or elsewhere, Wesley figures to serve as backcourt depth again in 2026-27.
Kris Murray: Plays solid role in third season
Brad Botkin - CBS Sports | May 8, 2026
Murray finished with no counting stats in one minute during Tuesday's 114-95 loss to the Spurs in Game 5 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
While he closed the season in a muted role, Murray was serviceable for Portland in 2025-26. The third-year swingman made 15 starts during the regular season, averaging 5.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.9 steals in a career-high 23.4 minutes per tilt covering 57 regular-season games. Murray figures to play a similar role for the Trail Blazers next year.
Yang Hansen: Wraps up quiet rookie campaign
Jasmyn Wimbish - CBS Sports | May 4, 2026
Hansen contributed zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) in one minute during Tuesday's 114-95 loss to the Spurs in Game 5 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Hansen's role with Portland was sparse during his rookie year, as he also made 14 G League appearances for the Rip City Remix. Overall, the 2025 first-rounder averaged 2.2 points, 1.5 rebounds and 0.5 assists in 7.0 minutes per contest over 43 regular-season games with the Trail Blazers.
Robert Williams is an impending unrestricted free agent this summer, however, so Hansen could have an opportunity during training camp to claim the top backup center role behind Donovan Clingan.
