Signs with Portland Portland signed Youngblood to a two-way contract Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Youngblood has been a standout player for the Oklahoma City Blue in the G League. With this move, Youngblood is now likely to become a featured player for the Rip City Remix, but he may get some NBA looks with the Trail Blazers as well.

Waived by Thunder The Thunder waived Youngblood on Friday, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Thunder needed to clear a roster spot to sign Buddy Boeheim to a two-way contract. Youngblood made 32 regular-season appearances for the Thunder, but he saw just 5.4 minutes per contest.

Logs season-high 20 minutes Youngblood ended with five points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 116-106 loss to the Spurs.

Impact Youngblood played double-digit minutes for the first time this season, called upon to do more after Oklahoma City ruled out a number of players earlier in the day. Given his season averages of just 2.0 points in 5.4 minutes, there is no need to pay attention to this effort.

Garbage time special Youngblood closed with three points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 10 minutes during Wednesday's 138-89 victory over the Suns.

Impact Youngblood continues to benefit from the fact that Oklahoma City is blowing opponents out on a regular basis. The majority of Youngblood's playing time has come during the final stretch of games, typically when the result has been decided. In 19 appearances, he has averaged 1.8 points and 1.0 rebounds in 5.6 minutes per contest.

Inside the Thunder numbers, as the champs get off to 24-1 start

The Oklahoma City Thunder have tied the 2015-16 Golden State Warriors for the best 25-game start in NBA history, with a record of 24-1

Plays four minutes in win Youngblood produced two points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds across four minutes during Tuesday's 126-107 victory over the Clippers.

Impact The Thunder often blow out teams, allowing Youngblood and others to see a handful of minutes in garbage time. He's still pretty far off the fantasy radar, to be clear.

Scores first NBA points Youngblood amassed three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt) over six minutes during Thursday's 141-135 double-overtime win over Indiana.

Impact Youngblood didn't see any playing time during Tuesday's season-opening win over the Rockets in double overtime, but with the Thunder shorthanded Thursday, the two-way guard saw some action and scored his first NBA points. When Alex Caruso (concussion), Cason Wallace (knee), Isaiah Joe (knee) and Jalen Williams (wrist) return to action, Youngblood will likely be relegated to the G League.

Impact Youngblood played in six games for the Thunder during the preseason and averaged 11.0 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 20.7 minutes per game. He's likely to be a prominent player for the Oklahoma City Blue in the G League to open the 2025-26 season.

Struggles in preseason win Youngblood ended with five points (1-7 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT) across 25 minutes in Tuesday's 116-112 preseason win over the Bucks.

Impact After posting an efficient 25 points in Saturday's loss to Indiana, Youngblood came back down to earth Tuesday. The undrafted 23-year-old out of Alabama signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Thunder in June and may receive consideration for the team's final two-way spot ahead of the 2025-26 campaign.

OCTOBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Erupts for 25 bench points Youngblood racked up 25 points (6-11 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 9-10 FT), five rebounds and three assists across 31 minutes during Saturday's 116-101 preseason win over the Thunder.

Impact Youngblood was efficient in the shooting department while leading the way for his squad with major minutes off the bench. He shot 54.5 percent from the field and 44.4 percent from beyond the arc in a performance that will likely get the attention of the coaching staff.

OCTOBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Puts up 20 points in win Youngblood produced 20 points (7-11 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one turnover in 21 minutes of Sunday's 135-114 preseason win over Charlotte.

Impact Youngblood, who went undrafted in 2025, was a standout player at Alabama. The Thunder scooped him up on an Exhibit 10 deal, and he went on to make a strong impression at the Summer League. He's expected to suit up for the Oklahoma City Blue in the G League this season, but he's certainly making an impression on the coaching staff.
