The Portland Trail Blazers<\/a> are on the verge of bolstering their training camp roster.<\/p>\n

Javonte Cooke<\/a> has agreed to sign an Exhibit 10 contract with the Blazers, a league source told The Oregonian\/OregonLive, and he will join the team for training camp.<\/p>\n

Cooke, who has played the last three seasons in the NBA G League<\/a>, will be given an opportunity to compete for a two-way roster spot with the Blazers. <\/p>\n

The 6-foot-6 guard performed well at the NBA Summer League<\/a> in July, averaging 9.6 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.4 assists in five games for the Miami Heat, which piqued the Blazers\u2019 interest. <\/p>\n

The solid summer league showing followed a standout G League season for the Oklahoma City Blue. Cooke averaged 16.6 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.6 assists, while shooting 43.1% from the field, in 31 games for the Blue. He started 23 games and averaged 27.4 minutes on a team that went 18-16 and finished seventh in the Western Conference.<\/p>\n

Cooke has played 88 games, including 55 starts, over the last three G League seasons, averaging 14.3 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists for the Blue and Iowa Wolves.<\/p>\n

He played college basketball at the Division II level, splitting time at Winston-Salem State and Mars Hill University, before going undrafted in the 2023 NBA draft.<\/p>\n

The Blazers\u2019 15-man NBA roster is full and two of their three two-way roster spots are occupied by Sidy Cissoko and Caleb Love, but Cooke will have a chance to earn the final two-way spot.<\/p>\n
