A pair of Huskers have a chance to be teammates in Portland.
Bryce McGowens, a former Nebraska basketball star, signed a two-way contract with the NBA's Trail Blazers on Thursday.
McGowens is only 21 years old, having spent his first two professional seasons with the Charlotte Hornets. He was selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves with the 40th pick in the 2022 NBA Draft and dealt to the Hornets via a draft night trade.
In his two seasons, the 6-7 McGowens averaged 5.2 points, 1.9 rebounds, and an assist on nearly 42% shooting in 105 games.
