After playing for the Brooklyn Nets during the NBA’s summer league, former Kansas forward Cliff Alexander has joined the Portland Trail Blazers, Alexander announced Friday on his Twitter and Instagram accounts.

Portland also announced Friday it had signed former Missouri point guard Phil Pressey, who had played two seasons with the Boston Celtics after going undrafted in 2013.

The terms of both contracts were not immediately available. Alexander, who went undrafted in the NBA Draft in late June, averaged 6.2 points and 6.0 rebounds while playing 23.4 minutes per game in the Orlando leg of the summer league.
