Yang Rising: China’s Clutch Center | Portland Trail Blazers News

Yang’s breakout international performances are lighting up the NBA world—dropping 19 points and hitting the game-winner against Lebanon, following a 15-point, 9-rebound effort against Qatar.

Now trusted with the ball in clutch moments for China, Yang’s development is accelerating—and Portland is watching closely.
