The Portland Trail Blazers have exercised their team option for guard Rayan Rupert. Portland will now have Rupert on the books at $2.2 million for next season, assuming they fully guaranteed his contract by the July 1 deadline.
Rupert played in 52 games for the Blazers last season. The 6-foot-6 guard averaged 3.0 points and 1.3 rebounds in 8.8 minutes per game. Portland drafted the now 21-year-old Rupert out France in the second round of the 2023 NBA Draft.
