"His beginning wasn't great, but he finished the game better. It was a great lesson for him to have this experience, to go there and play against a big guy similar to his size and strength. Great lesson for him to get better and work on his game."
"That's why I was furious. I don't understand. Players on the floor, you always take time to check if he's alright. If he's not. That's why I got a tech."
Yang Hansen started his first NBA game for the Portland Trail Blazers in a 119-96 loss at Memphis after Donovan Clingan and Robert Williams III were unavailable. Williams was a late scratch with an illness and Clingan missed his second straight game with a left lower-leg contusion. Hansen played just over 19 minutes, shooting 2-of-5 for four points and collecting five rebounds, including a third-quarter spin move and dunk over Zach Edey. Hansen took a hard hit and remained on the floor as play continued, prompting coach Tiago Splitter to receive a technical foul for protesting. Hansen averaged 16.2 points and 10 rebounds in his final Qingdao Eagles season.
