Hyun-Jung Lee has signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Portland Trail Blazers ahead of NBA 2026/27 training camp. The one-year, non-guaranteed deal gives him a shot to earn a roster spot in preseason and includes a path to join the Rip City Remix in the G League if he does not make the main roster.
The move, announced by his agency Epic Sports and reported by RealGM — Basketball Wiretap and TalkBasket, was confirmed on September 7 and brings the 6-foot-7 South Korean wing back to the NBA orbit after three seasons in Japan and Australia.
Contract details
The Exhibit 10 is a standard camp deal: a non-guaranteed minimum contract designed to keep the player within the organization via the G League, with a bonus and potential conversion to a two-way contract. The plan is for Lee to compete in Portland's preseason before joining Rip City Remix to continue his development inside the club system.
Profile and recent form
Undrafted out of Davidson in 2022 after a stint in the G League in 2022-23, Lee rebuilt his value in Asia and as an international with South Korea. Last season in Japan he averaged 17.5 points on 55/46/84 shooting splits, plus 5.7 rebounds and 1.2 steals, underlining his profile as a lengthy shooter who can play off the ball.
At 25, his outside shooting and size on the wing offer the floor spacing and defensive length Portland seeks for camp competition. His blend of G League familiarity and Asian league production makes him a low-risk, system-fit addition.
Fit in Portland
For the Portland Trail Blazers, the agreement adds wing competition without salary commitment and strengthens the direct pipeline to their affiliate. A strong camp could see Lee compete for a two-way slot, while the G League route ensures developmental continuity within the franchise.
