Portland Trail Blazers second-year forward Rayan Rupert is the main attraction when he suits up for the franchise’s G League affiliate, the Rip City Remix, at the Chiles Center in North Portland.
For the second time this season, the Trail Blazers assigned Rupert to the Remix for a home game Monday evening against the Austin Spurs. Just like Rupert’s G League season debut last week, he slotted into the starting lineup, played over 30 minutes and took over 15 shot attempts.
The 20-year-old forward from France handled the increased role well in his first outing last week, producing 27 points on 50% shooting and seven assists in a 130-107 loss to the Salt Lake City Stars.
