Blake Wesley comes to Portland as the Trail Blazers re-sign all-star guard Damian Lillard — though he’s expected to spend 2025-26 rehabbing before returning.
PORTLAND, Ore. — The Portland Trail Blazers have signed free agent guard Blake Wesley to what is reportedly a one-year deal, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.
The organization announced the move Tuesday morning, but did not disclose terms of the deal.
The former Spurs first-round pick has spent the last three NBA seasons in San Antonio, appearing in 156 total games with four starts. He averages 4.3 points, 2.4 assists and 1.5 rebounds in 14.3 minutes per game.
Wesley spent his freshman season at Notre Dame, where he earned second team All-ACC (Atlantic Coast Conference) and All-Rookie team. There he accrued averages of 14.4 points, 2.4 assists, 3.7 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 29.3 minutes in 35 games (28 starts).
The move to bring Wesley to Portland comes as the Trail Blazers re-sign all-star guard Damian Lillard to the roster. Though, Lillard coming off an Achilles injury will spend the 2025-2026 season rehabbing and is not expected to return to the court until the following year.
