Trail Blazers officially announced! Yang Hansen s debut time was revealed, he will fight against the Warriors at 11 a.m. and will not play in the Asian Cup

In another month, the Asian Cup of Men's Basketball Team organized by Saudi Arabia will open. The Chinese men's basketball team is currently going to Europe to practice. After three weeks, they will return to China to play with the Venezuelan national team. Then they will play two more warm-up matches with the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team and will go to Saudi Arabia around the beginning of August.

Just as the Chinese men's basketball team was preparing for the Asian Cup, the Chinese basketball team officially announced Zhou Qi's injury information, saying that the latter was going to the United States to recuperate, which meant that he was absent from the Asian Cup in advance.

In fact, in addition to Zhou Qi, Zhao Jiwei and Zhang Zhenlin also withdrew from the training team of this year's Chinese men's basketball team. Zeng Fanbo is currently recovering from injury in Germany, and Cui Yongxi has only recovered by 45%. The Chinese men's basketball team cannot get the strongest lineup.

The absence of multiple inside players in the Asian Cup has also had a great impact on the Chinese men's basketball team's goal for the championship. So will Yang Hansen, who has just entered the NBA, be recruited by the national team to play in the Asian Cup? This is also a topic that domestic fans are paying great attention to.

A week ago, Yang Hansen was selected by the Portland Trail Blazers in the 2025 NBA Draft, becoming the third Chinese player to be selected in the first round after Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian.

Soon, Yang Hansen went to Portland, first attending a press conference, and then officially signing a contract with the team. Since being selected in the first round means having a guaranteed contract, $4.42 million in the first year, $4.64 million in the second year, $4.86 million in the third year, and $7.46 million in the fourth year, with a total salary of $21.39 million, which is approximately RMB 150 million.

At present, Yang Hansen is fully preparing for the upcoming summer league. If the Chinese men's basketball team recalls Yang Hansen at this time, it will definitely be of no benefit, and it will also affect Yang Hansen's future.

According to the official news of the Trail Blazers, the team's summer league schedule has been determined, against the Warriors, Grizzlies, Pelicans and Rockets, and the opponents in the last game are to be determined.

Among them, the game against the Warriors at 11:00 on July 12 should be Yang Hansen's debut for the Trail Blazers, and he will continue to play in other games later. After all the games, it was July 20. At that time, the Chinese men's basketball team ended the training of Europe. Since Yang Hansen did not participate in the national team's training and preparation, it is unlikely that he will return in a hurry. Therefore, it is basically certain that he will not go back to play the Asian Cup, but will focus on preparing for the NBA regular season that will start next season.

Among them, how Yang Hansen's performance in the Summer League represents the Trail Blazers will also determine his playing time in the regular season next season.
