As the Rip City Remix open its second season Friday night on the road against the San Diego Clippers, the Portland Trail Blazers G League affiliate will have a new but familiar head coach roaming the sidelines.
Trail Blazers assistant general manager Sergi Oliva has stepped into the role for a one-season gig. Oliva, the assistant GM since 2022, took the position in late August, replacing former Remix head coach Jim Moran who left this summer for an assistant position with the Sacramento Kings.
At Remix Media Day on Wednesday, Oliva told reporters that the Blazers front office discussed the “concept” and “purpose” of the Remix this season before discussing people for the coaching vacancy.
