The Portland Trail Blazers announced last month that the team will be having their very own G League affiliate.
The unnamed team will be playing their home games at the Chiles Center, the home of the University of Portland.

Former UP star and NBA veteran Pooh Jeter was announced to be a part of the franchise as the assistant GM and as a player development coach for Blazers.
