The twenty-four-year-old shooting guard previously held an identical deal with the Oklahoma City Thunder earlier this season. During that specific stint, Youngblood appeared in thirty-two games, posting just 2.0 points per outing in restricted minutes, before being waived in February upon hitting the fifty-game active limit. Since then, he has truly dominated in the G League with the Oklahoma City Blue.
Over his past ten regular-season games, he showcased his skills by averaging 23.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 3.8 assists. He displayed solid shooting efficiency, recording 46.3 percent from the floor, 32.7 percent from deep, and 79.4 percent from the foul line. This strong recent performance has successfully secured him another opportunity to join the Trail Blazers' roster for the future.
