October 11th: In the NBA preseason game, the Trail Blazers defeated the Kings 124-123 at home.

In the whole game, Yang Hansen played 17 minutes, making 5 of 8 shots, 2 of 3 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored the third highest score on the team with 16 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, and 3 blocks. He also committed 5 fouls, with a plus-minus value of +9.

Trail Blazers starting center Klingen played 17 minutes and 40 seconds, making 1 of 4 shots, 0 of 2 free throws, 2 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 blocks and 5 fouls.

When attending the press conference after the game, talking about the two men's foul troubles, Trail Blazers coach Billups said: "This is a preseason, so they are just beginning to adapt to the referee's call scale. There are often very intense physical confrontations in the training camp, but we will not call these fouls in training, so some adjustments need to be made. When you really start the game, I hope my players will stay tough and maintain physical confrontation. Now that they have seen the referee's call method, they will gradually adapt to the adjustment."
