Shaedon Sharpe was outstanding in the Blazers' preseason opener. Yang Hansen, not so much.

Yang Hansen fouls out of his preseason debut. 4 points, 4 rebounds, 4 turnovers in 21 minutes.

Yang Hansen gets his first (preseason) NBA points on a dunk. Good amount of cheers, certainly more than for any other Blazers player tonight.

Blake Wesley starting the second half in place of Jrue Holiday, who Chauncey Billups said earlier this week was only going to play the first half.

20-point first half for Shaedon Sharpe.

Duop Reath of all people stuffs Gary Payton II's layup attempt.

Yang Hansen's first shift: a foul, a turnover, no other stats in 5 minutes and 37 seconds. Still feeling it out.

Good start to the game for Shaedon.

Chauncey Billups says tonight’s starters will be Jrue Holiday, Shaedon Sharpe, Toumani Camara, Jerami Grant and Donovan Clingan. Deni Avdija coming off the bench. Says he’s “just funneling through guys wanting to see different lineups.”

Chauncey Billups also said the Blazers won’t be resting players for full games during preseason. He instead will be finding rest for them during games in terms of their minutes.

He knows for sure he won’t play Jrue Holiday in the second half against the Warriors tomorrow.

Chauncey Billups says the team will experiment with different lineups during the preseason opener tomorrow and throughout the preseason games.

He advised people not to read too much into it and what it means for minutes/lineups during the regular season.

And now they have waived Pedulla. This is all to set up him joining the Remix.

The Blazers have signed Sean Pedulla to an Exhibit 10 contract and waived training-camp players Andrew Carr, Liam Robbins and MarJon Beauchamp. Javonte Cooke is the only other training-camp player still on the roster.

Got to admit I was dead wrong about the LeBron announcement. I thought there was no way it wasn’t going to be an Amazon ad. Turns out it was a Hennessy ad. That’s on me.

The Cherngs' response brief to the initial complaint filed by the Bhathals is due tomorrow by 3pm ET. Like the original lawsuit, this will likely be under seal at first and then be unsealed a few days later.

Engelbert deserves the criticism she is getting. But Adam Silver and the NBA are the biggest obstacle in WNBA labor fights. My latest for @cbssports.bsky.social:

WNBA's Engelbert under fire — but the NBA's power looms larger

Engelbert faces blazing criticism from WNBA players, but the NBA's ownership and influence remain the central challenge to the league's future.
