Korean men's basketball rising star Lee Hyun-joong (23) will play in the Summer League for the second consecutive year as a member of the National Basketball Association (NBA) Portland Trail Blazers.

The Portland club announced the 14 members of the Summer League roster on its official website on the 6th (Korea Standard Time), and Lee Hyun-joong was also listed on the Summer League roster.

Earlier, Lee Hyun-joong moved to the U.S. last month and agreed to a summer league contract with Portland after conducting workouts with the Dallas Mavericks and Portland. Portland is the team that Ha Seung-jin, the No. 1 Korean NBA player, was named in the 2004 Rookie Draft. 토토사이트 모음

As a result, Lee Hyun-joong participated in the Summer League last season as a member of the Philadelphia 76ers, and will step on the Summer League court for the second consecutive year.

The NBA Summer League is a competition in which rookies and players in their first and second years form a team during the off-season. Players who have displayed outstanding performances in the Summer League can sign official contracts with NBA teams.

Lee Hyun-joong played for the Philadelphia Phillies on July 17 last year and recorded 10 points and three rebounds in a game against the New Orleans Pelicans in the Summer League. Unfortunately, however, it did not lead to an official contract.

Since then, Lee Hyun-joong signed a three-year contract with the Illawarra Hawks, Australian professional basketball, in July last year and played in 32 games, including the regular league and playoffs, averaging 7.3 points and 3.7 rebounds.

Meanwhile, Portland will play the first game against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday, followed by the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday, the Washington Wizards on Wednesday, and the Charlotte Hornets on Thursday. The games will all be played in Las Vegas, Nevada.
