The Trail Blazers fell 110-127 to the Suns at home today, with Yang Hansen seeing playing time once again. After the game, head coach Splitter stated this was part of the pre-game plan.

Splitter remarked, "This was planned before the game. I believe he can bring a new element to our offense and serve as a tactical pivot for ball movement. He's become more aggressive on the court, but he still needs to learn how to defend better and protect the rim. However, players like him always improve."

"I think his time in the G League has boosted his confidence. He's communicating more with teammates on the court and is more active in the locker room—all positive developments."

In this game, Yang Hansen played 13 minutes, going 4-for-7 from the field to score 9 points with 5 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 block.
